Antwon Donell PERKINS, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada and Aaron D. Ford, Attorney General, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from the purported denial and/or dismissal of a postconviction petition for writ of habeas corpus. This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no appealable order has been entered in the district court proceedings, and this matter is still ongoing in the district court. Thus, the notice of appeal is premature. To the extent that the appellant is appealing from the district court's oral decision on July 10, 2025, regarding appellant's motion for appointment of counsel, no statute or court rule permits an appeal from the aforementioned district court ruling, and this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal. Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (explaining that this court has jurisdiction only when statute or court rule provides for appeal). Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
