Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

NICHOLAS JAMES AMATRONE, No. 76880 Appellant, vs. STATE FARM FIRE AND CASUALTY; STATE FARM INSURANCE AGENCY; GREGORY A. MOORE; DOUGLAS WOOD; ROBIN SINGER; BELFOR RESTORATION; AND WILLIAMS OCT 0 5 2018 ELIZABETH A. BROWN ELECTRICS, CLERK OF SUPREME COURT Respondents. BY DEPU

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from a district court order granting a motion to lift stay and regarding show cause hearing. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Gloria Sturman, Judge. Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that 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. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013). No statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an order granting a motion to lift stay and regarding a show cause hearing. Cf. Brunzell Constr. Co. v. Harrah's Club, 81 Nev. 414, 404 P.2d 902 (1965) ("An order granting or denying a stay of proceedings is not among [the list of statutorily appealable

1 8 -3q112. determinations]."). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED. 1
