                           Second, even if the court were to enter a written order, 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, 209, 678 P.2d 1152, 1153 (1984). No statute or court rule
                authorizes an appeal from an order denying leave to amend a complaint;
                thus, the challenged order is not substantively appealable on this basis.
                See NRAP 3A(b) (listing orders and judgments from which an appeal may
                be taken). Accordingly, we
                           ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.'
