SHIRRON JOZETTE GAYLES-ZANDERS, Appellant, v. WARDEN WILLIAM RUEBART (FMWCC) AND THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tierra Danielle Jones, Judge.
On December 11, 2024, this court ordered this appeal held in abeyance pending the district court's resolution of appellant's “motion to strike” and suspended briefing deadlines. On January 13, 2025, the district court transmitted to this court its written order granting appellant's motion to strike the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order that denied appellant's petition for a writ of habeas corpus, and granting appellant's request for appointed counsel. Thus, it appears that no final judgment has been entered by the district court from which an appeal may be filed, see NRAP 3A(b)(1); Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) (“[A] final judgment is one that disposes of all the issues presented in the case, and leaves nothing for the future consideration of the court, except for post-judgment issues such as attorney's fees and costs.”), and we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal. Accordingly, we
