JASON ALTHEIDE v. WILLIAM REUBART TASHEENA COOKE AND MELINA CASTRO (2024)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

Appellant filed, in the district court, a pro se motion to withdraw this appeal on the basis that he has not received a written district court “order of judgment” and that he intends to move for a new trial. The district court transmitted the motion to this court. We construe the motion

as a motion to voluntarily dismiss this appeal as premature. As our preliminary review of the documents before this court likewise indicates that a final, written judgment reflecting the district court's October 30, 2024, oral ruling has not been entered, such that we lack jurisdiction, appellant's motion is granted. See Rust v. Clark Cnty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 689, 747 P.2d 1380, 1382 (1987) (providing 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); NRAP 3A(b)(1); NRAP 42. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed.

It is so ORDERED.
