CLERK OF SUPREME COURT ay...‘ DEPUTY CLERK ~ ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se notice of appeal from an order of the district court dismissing without prejudice appellant’s presentence petition for a writ of habeas corpus. This court’s review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no appeal lies from an order dismissing without prejudice a presentence petition for a writ of habeas corpus.! See NRS 34.724(1) (stating that a person convicted of a crime and under sentence of death or imprisonment may file a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus); see also State v. Lewis, 124 Nev. 132 , 178 P.3d 146 (2008) (stating that an order entered before judgment of conviction is intermediate and not generally a final, appealable determination). The right to appeal is statutory; where no statute or court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists. See Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352 , 1Appellant filed the petition prior to being sentenced in district court case number C-19-341767-1.
