                                                                                BY

                                           ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
                                  This is an appeal from an order denying appellant's motion for
                      discovery. Fifth Judicial District Court, Nye County; Kimberly A.
                      Wanker, Judge.
                                  Our preliminary review of the documents submitted to this
                      court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a potential 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
                      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 denying a motion for discovery. Accordingly, we conclude that we
                      lack jurisdiction and we
                                  ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
