TONEY ANTHONY WHITE, Appellant. v. JACQUES GRAHAM; SIA ASIMIDAKIS; R. GARCIA; R. VALLE; JULIE WILLIAMS: AND THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a purported district court order entered on September 6, 2023, disposing of appellant's case. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tara D. Clark Newberry, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. No order resolving the underlying district court complaint appears to have been entered in the district court. To the extent appellant appeals from the September 6, 2023, minute order dismissing the case, the oral order of the district court is not effective and cannot be appealed. See Div. of Child & Family Servs. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 445, 454, 92 P.3d 1239, 1245 (2001) (“[D]ispositional court orders that are not administrative in nature, but deal with the procedural posture or merits of the underlying controversy, must be written, signed, and filed before they become effective.”). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal. DISMISSED.1
