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.
