LALAINE GIL v. ARLENE BIRD (2024)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from an order entered by the short trial judge denying appellant's motion to set aside the short trial verdict. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Kenneth Weissman, Short Trial Judge.

Preliminary review of the docketing statement and documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Because the district court judge did not sign the appealed short trial order, it appears that the district court has not yet entered a written order denying the motion to set aside the short trial verdict, which is necessary for appeal purposes. NRAP 3A(b)(2); NSTR 33. Under NSTR 3(d), pro tempore short trial judges’ proposed orders are not effective until signed by the district court. NSTR 3(d)(4). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
