Opinion

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying an “Affidavit Seeking Disqualification of Judge Due to Bias, Prejudice, Breach of Nevada Revised Statutes & Ethics Violations.” Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jerry A. Wiese, Judge.

Review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the order designated in the notice of appeal is not substantively appealable. See NRAP 3A(b). This court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal only when the appeal is authorized by statute or court rule. Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013). No statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an order denying disqualification of a judge. See Towbin Dodge, LLC v. Dist. Ct., 121 Nev. 5, 112 P. 3d 1063 (2005) (noting that a writ petition is the appropriate vehicle for challenging judicial disqualification rulings). This court lacks jurisdiction and
