IN RE: THE PETITION FOR CHANGE OF NAME BY: ALLISON STANTON ALLISON STANTON, Appellant.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Appellant has filed a pro se notice of appeal from “name change denial.” Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Mari D. Parlade, Judge.
This court's preliminary review of the documents before us reveals a jurisdictional defect. Although appellant filed a petition for adult name change on November 1, 2024, it does not appear that the petition has been resolved by the district court. The district court docket entries submitted to this court reveal that no order has been filed in the case; nor does there appear to have been an oral ruling or minutes entered in the matter. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction and order this appeal dismissed. NRAP 3A(b). If the district court later enters an order resolving the petition by which appellant is aggrieved, appellant may file a new notice of appeal.
It is so ORDERED.
