Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

DOUGLAS A. WALLACE, No. 71483 Appellant, vs. BARBARA CEGAVSKE, NEVADA SECRETARY OF STATE; NEVADA STATE DEMOCRATIC PARTY; AND FILED HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, Respondents. OCT 1 9 2016 tr. - WS it I I rjtr.rr ritt ^;

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying appellant's motion for summary judgment. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Patrick Flanagan, Judge. Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that the judgment or order designated in the notice of appeal is not substantively appealable. See NRAP 3A(b). This court only has appellate jurisdiction when an appeal is authorized by statute or court rule. See NRAP 3A(b); Taylor Constr. Co. v. Hilton Hotels Corp., 100 Nev. 207, 209, 678 P.2d 1152, 1153 (1984). We have consistently held that no appeal lies from an order denying a motion for summary judgment. D.R. Horton, Inc. v. Dist. Ct., 125 Nev. 449, 454, 215 P.3d 697, 700 (2009) (citing GES, Inc.
