IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

NICOLE BOATNER, No. 84979 Appellant, i FILED RANDY BROWN, Respondent. JUL 21 2022

ELIZABETH A. BROWN

CLERK Gre COURT ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL yah,

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order awarding respondent temporary sole legal and physical custody of the parties’ minor children. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James E. Wilson, Judge.

Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. No statute or court rule allows an appeal from a temporary custody order. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (this court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule”); In re Temporary Custody of Five Minor Children, 105 Nev. 441, 777 P.2d 901 (1989) (stating that no appeal may be taken from temporary custody orders subject to periodic mandatory review); NRAP 3A(b)(7) (allowing an appeal from a district court order that finally alters custody of minor children). Accordingly, this court

lacks jurisdiction and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
