No statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an order denying a "Motion for Declaratory Relief Asserting Substantive Rights," an order denying a "Motion for Declaratory Relief Asserting Affirmative Application of Strict Scrutiny Procedural Protections," or an order denying a "Motion for Declaratory Relief Asserting

SUPREME Couar OF NEVADA
