GEROLD ESPARZA CENTENO v. THE STATE OF NEVADA (2024)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This appeal was initiated by the filing of two pro se notices of appeal. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Michelle Leavitt, Judge.

Appellant's notices of appeal fail to identify an appealable decision of the district court. See NRAP 3(c)(1)(B). To the extent, if any, appellant's notice of appeal can be construed as challenging the district court's December 26, 2023, minute order continuing petition requesting genetic maker analysis and motion to establish factual innocence, this is not a final order as no decision has been made on the motions and petition. Thus, the notice of appeal is premature. See NRS 177.015(3) (stating that a defendant only may appeal from a final judgment or verdict). This court lacks jurisdiction and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
