ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL DER/1Y CLERK

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a motion to open to collect a debt. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Eric Johnson, 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. 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 to open to collect a debt. This court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal and ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.1
