ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a hearing purportedly held on
March 10, 2016, in a divorce action. Second Judicial District Court,
Family Court Division, Washoe County; Cynthia Lu, Judge.
Our preliminary review of the docketing statement and the
documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a
potential jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that the notice of
appeal was prematurely filed, before the entry of a final written judgment,
and is therefore of no effect. See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust v. Clark Cty. School
District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987). To the extent appellant
seeks to appeal from the order striking a request for submission entered
February 24, 2016, the order is not 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 permits an

conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we
