Lori IRISH, Appellant, v. James H. GORMLEY, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from an order awarding attorney fees. Our review of the documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. It appears that appellant filed the notice of appeal after the timely filing of a tolling motion for reconsideration but before the tolling motion was formally resolved. See NRAP 4(a)(4); AA Primo Builders, LLC v. Washington, 126 Nev. 578, 585, 245 P.3d 1190, 1195 (2010) (explaining when a motion for reconsideration may be given tolling effect under NRAP 4(a)(4)). To date, it appears that the motion for reconsideration remains pending in the district court. Accordingly, the notice of appeal was prematurely filed, see NRAP 4(a)(6), and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
