                         MICHAEL LUIS COTA,                                       No. 83957
                                           Appellant,
                                       vs.
                         THE STATE OF NEVADA,                                      FILED
                                           Respondent.
                                                                                    JAN 1 8 2022

                                                                                           CLERK

                                             ORDER DISMISSING APPEALS

                                      These are pro se appeals from district court orders denying
                        motion to hold counsel in contempt and directing counsel to resend portions
                        of case file. Ninth Judicial District Court, Douglas County; Thomas W.
                        Gregory, Judge.
                                      Because no statute or court rule permits an appeal from an
                        order denying a motion to hold counsel in contempt and directing counsel to
                        resend portions of case file in a criminal matter, this court lacks jurisdiction

                         1133, 1135 (1990) (explaining that court has jurisdiction only when statute
                         or court rule provides for appeal). Accordingly, this court
                                        ORDERS these appeals dismissed.'

                               'Given this order, this court takes no action on the pro se letters filed
                         on January 3, 2022.

                              This court anticipates that counsel will promptly provide appellant
                         with any portions of the case file that appellant claims to be missing, if
