                                            ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
                                   This is a pro se appeal from the district court's "verbal order of
                     denial of default judgment . . ." Eleventh Judicial District Court, Pershing
                     County; Jim C. Shirley, Judge.
                                   Review of the documents before this court reveals a
                     jurisdictional defect. This court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal only
                     when the appeal is authorized by statute or court rule. Brown v. MHC
                     Stagecoach, LLC, 
129 Nev. 343, 345
, 
301 P.3d 850, 851
 (2013). No appeal
                     lies from the district court's verbal order. See Rust v. Clark Cty. Sch. Dist.,
                     
103 Nev. 686, 689
, 
747 P.2d 1380, 1382
 (1987) ([O]nly a written judgment
                     may be appealed."). Additionally, no statute or court rule provides for an
                     appeal from the district court's denial of default judgment. Thus, this court
                     lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and
                                   ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
