Res sondents.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from an order denying appellant's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Linda Marie Bell, Judge.

Review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. 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. Taylor Constr. Co. v. Hilton Hotels, 100 Nev. 207, 678 P.2d 1152 (1984). No statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an order denying a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. This court lacks jurisdiction and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
