Jeffery MULHALL, Appellant, v. Jo GENTRY, Warden, 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; Gloria Sturman, Judge.
Because it did not appear that the district court had entered a written order memorializing its decision, on May 16, 2018, this court entered an order directing the district court to either (1) enter a written order, (2) inform this court that it is reconsidering its decision, or (3) inform this court in writing that additional time is needed to enter a written order. On June 25, 2018, the district court entered an order reconsidering its decision and transferring the case to another department. The June 25, 2018, order is not a final order, and appellant's appeal is premature. See NRS 177.015(3) (appellant may appeal from a final judgment or verdict); see also Sandstrom v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 121 Nev. 657, 659, 119 P.3d 1250, 1252 (2005) (“[A] final order is one that disposes of all issues and leaves nothing for future consideration.”). Accordingly, we conclude that lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
