Vance COAN, Appellant, v. Rosalie BACLET, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order granting a motion to dismiss a complaint. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Scott N. Freeman, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. It appears that the notice of appeal was prematurely filed after the filing of a timely tolling motion for reconsideration. See NRAP 4(a)(4); AA Primo Builders, LLC v. Washington, 126 Nev. 578, 585, 245 P.3d 1190, 1195 (2010) (explaining when a post-judgment motion for reconsideration is treated as a tolling motion under NRAP 4(a)(4)(C)). To date, it appears that the tolling motion remains pending in the district court. It thus appears that this court lacks jurisdiction, see NRAP 4(a)(6) (“A premature notice of appeal does not divest the district court of jurisdiction.”), and this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
