                                                                            BY     • Vf

                                         ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
                              This is an appeal from an order extending a temporary
                protective order. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division,
                Clark County; Denise L. Gentile, 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(4. 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
                extending a protective order. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack
                jurisdiction, and we
                              ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
