BROWN v. SLYMAN LLC (2019)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal from the district court's minute order dismissing appellant's complaint. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Susan Johnson, Judge.

Review of the documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The district court's minute order is ineffective and not appealable. State, Div. of Child & Family Serv. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 445, 451-54, 92 P.3d 1239, 1243-45 (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.”); Rust v. Clark Cty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 689, 747 P.2d 1380, 1382 (1987) (stating that the district court's minute order is ineffective and cannot be appealed). To date, it does not appear that the district court has entered a written order, signed by the judge, dismissing appellant's complaint. Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.¹
