Michael Allen MANNING, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This appeal was initiated by the filing of a pro se notice of appeal. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; William D. Kephart,
This court’s review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. It appears that appellant is attempting to appeal from a district court order resolving a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. However, no decision had been made on the petition when appellant filed the notice of appeal on December 13, 2019. Rather, on November 6, 2019, the district court took the petition off the court’s calendar. Thus, this appeal is premature. See NRS 177.015(3). Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
