ORDER DISMISSING APPEALS
These are pro se appeals. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark
County; David M. Jones, Judge: Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark
County; Elham Roohani, Judge.
Appellant has filed what appear to be two identical notices of
appeal, one bearing a criminal district court case number, and one bearing
a civil district court case number. The notices state that appellant appeals
from an "Order Granting in Part, Denying in Part, Defendant's Pro Per
Motion to Dismiss Counsel from 2/1/2022." To the extent appellant appeals
from the February 1, 2022, "Order Granting In Part, Denying In Part
Defendant's Pro Per Motion to Dismiss Counser entered in criminal district
court case number C-21-357927-1, no statute or court rule allows an appeal
from a postconviction order granting a motion to dismiss counsel, denying
a motion to recuse the judge, and denying a request for money. See Castillo

to Amend Complaint and Motion to Dismiss Counsel and Appoint Stand-By
Counsel," entered on February 28, 2022, in civil district court case number
A-17-758861-C, no statute or court rule allows an appeal from such an
order. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d
850, 851 (2013) (this court "may only consider appeals authorized by statute
or court rule"). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
