SAGER v. STATE (2026)

Supreme Court of Nevada.

Margaret Edith SAGER, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.

No. 91917

Decided: March 03, 2026

Margaret Edith Sager Attorney General/Carson City Clark County District Attorney

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The district court's oral order is not appealable. See Div. of Child. & Family Servs. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 445, 454, 92 P.3d 1239, 1245 (2004) (“[D]ispositional court orders that are not administrative in nature, but deal with the procedural posture or merits of the underlying controversy, must be written, signed, and filed before they become effective.”). Moreover, this court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule.” Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013). No statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from an order accepting an annual risk assessment report and directing that a person remain in a forensic facility. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction and
