IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

                 BRIAN J. STEINBERG; AND                               No. 69804
                 STEINBERG LAW GROUP,
                                    Appellants,
                                vs.
                 ANTHONY MICHAEL STINZIANO,                              SLED
                                    Resnondent.
                                                                         MAR 0 4 2016

                                      ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
                             This is an appeal from a district court order referring the
                 parties' fee dispute to the State Bar of Nevada Fee Dispute Committee.
                 Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County;
                 William S. Potter, Judge.
                             Our review of the docketing statement and the documents
                 submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional
                 defect. Specifically, it appears that the judgment or 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 referring a matter to the State Bar of Nevada,
                 though SCR 86(12) provides for review of a Fee Dispute Committee

                    decision in the district court. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack
                    jurisdiction, and we
