                                                                              BY
                                                                                    DEPUTY CLERK

                                            ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
                                  This is an appeal from a district court order denying a
                 I   * resentence motion to disqualify a judge. Eighth Judicial District Court,
                 Clark County; David B. Barker, Judge.
                                  When our initial review of the notice of appeal and documents
                      before this court revealed a potential jurisdictional defect, we ordered
                      appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack
                      of jurisdiction. Specifically, we noted that no statute or court rule provides
                      for an appeal from an order denying a motion to disqualify a judge.               See
                      Castillo v. State,   106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990).
                      Appellant's response indicates that the motion to disqualify is intertwined
                      with a motion to withdraw a plea. However, appellant does not identify
                      any statute or court rule allowing for an appeal from an order denying a

                motion to disqualify a judge. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack
                jurisdiction over this appeal and
                            ORDER this appeal DISMISSED. 1
