John Harold MCCULLOUGH, Appellant, v. Isidro BACA, Warden; and the State of Nevada, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a purported June 17, 2019, district court order denying a postconviction petition for writ of habeas corpus. Eleventh Judicial District Court, Pershing County; Steven R, Kosach, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no decision had been made on the petition when appellant filed his appeal on July 11, 2019. Rather, on June 17, 2019, the district court appointed counsel to represent appellant in the habeas corpus proceedings. Thus, this appeal is premature. See NRS 177.015(3). Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
