Shannon Dean CARTER, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a purported district court order denying a writ of habeas corpus. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Janet Berry, Judge.
On July 16, 2018, appellant filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus or in the alternative a writ of mandamus and filed a supplemental petition for writ of habeas corpus post-conviction on August 15, 2018. No decision, oral or written, had been made on the petition when appellant filed his appeal on September 3, 2019. Because appellant failed to designate an appealable order, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.1
FOOTNOTES
1. This court is confident that the district court will resolve the habeas petition and supplemental petition as expeditiously as its docket permits.
