                                       ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
                              This is an appeal from an order issued after a status check in
                a divorce and child custody action, setting child support, granting
                appellant access to the child's medical information, and allowing for
                appellant to file a motion for visitation if he chooses. Eighth Judicial
                District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; Cheryl B. Moss,
                Judge.
                              Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant
                to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that
                the 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 merely setting
                child support, granting access to medical information, or allowing for a
