CARRERA v. MONTES (2019)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court decision regarding a motion for reconsideration. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Rhonda Kay Forsberg, Judge.

Review of the notice of appeal and other documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. It appears that the district court orally denied a motion for reconsideration on November 7, 2019. However, this oral order is not effective. See State, Div. of Child and Family Serv's v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 445, 454, 92 P.3d 1239, 1245 (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”). To date, it does not appear that the district court has entered a written order formally resolving the motion. Accordingly, it appears that this court lacks jurisdiction and this court

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.¹
