JOHN WALTER SALMON, Appellant, v. JENNIFER JEAN HOCKADAY, F/K/A JENNIFER JEAN SALMON, Respondent.


ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order extending a temporary protection order against domestic violence. Ninth Judicial District Court, Douglas County; Thomas W. Gregory, Judge.

Our review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. This court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal only when the appeal is authorized by statute or court rule. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013). As no statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from the challenged order, it is not substantively appealable. See NRAP 3A(b) (listing orders and judgments from which an appeal may be taken); see generally In re Temporary Custody of Five Minor Children, 105 Nev. 441, 777 P.2d 901 (1989) (stating that no appeal may be taken from a temporary order subject to periodic mandatory review). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
