What is the test for dismissing an appeal?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. J.R. (In re J.R.), H047114 (Cal. App. 2020):

"[S]ince the question of appealability goes to our jurisdiction, we are dutybound to consider it on our own motion." (Olson v. Cory (1983) 35 Cal.3d 390, 398.) Having done so, we determine that we must dismiss the appeal because it is unauthorized by statute.
