BETTY ENGELSTAD, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE WILLIAM G. HENDERSON, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, KRIS ENGELSTAD MCGARRY; AND TIMOTHY MCGARRY, Real Parties in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenging a district court ruling denying a motion to dismiss.1
Although petitioner has provided a minute order with her petition, she has not provided a written district court order memorializing the ruling she wishes to challenge. As a result, we are unable to evaluate the petition. Rust v. Clark Cty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 689, 747 P.2d 1380, 1382 (1987) (explaining that a minute order is ineffective for any purpose and that a written order signed and filed by the district court is essential to this court's review); see also NRAP 21(a)(4) (stating that it is the petitioner's obligation to provide an appendix that includes all records that may be essential to understand the matters set forth in the petition). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENTED.
