ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is an appeal from a district court order granting a motion to compel arbitration. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Rob Bare, Judge. A preliminary review of this appeal revealed a potential jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appeared that the order challenged on appeal was 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 Corp., 100 Nev. 207, 678 P.2d 1152 (1984). No statute or court rule appears to authorize an appeal from an order granting a motion to compel arbitration. See Kindred v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 116 Nev. 405, 996 P.2d 903 (2000) (indicating that an order granting a motion to compel arbitration is not appealable). Appellant has filed a response to the order to show cause, and respondents have filed a reply. In its response to the order to show cause, SUPREME COURT
