IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

CAROL ANN STROM, No. 79973 Appellant, vs. FLED EDWARD R. KELLER, Respondent. NOV 2 5 2019 ELIZARETA A. BROWN CLERK Of- SUPREME COURT ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL DE -1.FrY CLERK 0

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order indicating its inclination to issue an order to show cause to appellant regarding contempt and to grant an evidentiary hearing on respondent's motion to modify custody. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; Charles J. Hoskin, 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 outlining the district court's inclination to take action. This court lacks jurisdiction, and ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.'
