DAVID BOOKER, Appellant, v. CLERK OF THE COURT; AND JENNIFER M. WALDO, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal in a mandamus proceeding. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Erika D. Ballou, Judge.
Review of the documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, appellant's notice of appeal fails to identify any appealable order. To the extent appellant wishes to challenge the district court's January 23, 2024, oral denial of his petition for a writ of mandamus, the court has not yet entered a written order reflecting that decision or otherwise finally resolving the writ proceedings below, and oral rulings may not be appealed. See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust v. Clark Cnty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987) (explaining that the district court's oral pronouncement from the bench, the clerk's minute order, and even an unfiled written order cannot be appealed). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction and
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
