                                      ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
                            This is a pro se appeal from the district court's minute order
                regarding the sale of real property. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark
                County; David M. Jones, Judge.
                            Initial review of the notice of appeal and the documents before
                this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The district court's minute order
                is not effective and cannot be appealed. See State, Div. of Child & Family
                Servs. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 445, 454, 92 P.31 1239, 1245

                but deal with the procedural posture or merits of the underlying
                controversy, must be written, signed, and filed before they become
                effective."); Rust v. Clark Cty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 689, 747 P.2d 1380,
                1382 (1987) (stating that the district court's minute order is ineffective and
                cannot be appealed). Additionally, this court "may only consider appeals
                authorized by statute or court rule." Brown v. MHC 'Stagecoach, LLC, 129
