Chentill BEARD, Appellant, v. Preston P. REZAEE; and The Firm, P.C., Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from an arbitration action. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Joanna Kishner, Judge.
Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals jurisdictional defects. First, we are unable to discern what order appellant seeks to appeal; she identifies the date of February 6, 2018, but the district court docket entries do not list an order entered that date. Moreover, the docket entries reflect a notice to the prevailing party that a final judgment may be entered on the arbitration award, but no written judgment has yet been entered. Thus, we conclude that the notice of appeal is prematurely filed, before the entry of a final written judgment, and is therefore of no effect. See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust v. Clark Cty. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987). The court lacks jurisdiction, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
