EDWARDS v. SOUTHERN DESERT CORRECTIONAL CENTER (2020)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal from a purported district court order dismissing appellant’s claims and an order closing appellant’s case. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Trevor L. Atkin, Judge.

Review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the notice of appeal appears to be untimely filed under NRAP 4(a) because it appears that it was filed before the entry of a final written judgment and is therefore of no effect. See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust v. Clark Cty. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987) (explaining that the district court's oral pronouncement from the bench, the clerk's minute order, and even an unfiled written order cannot be appealed); Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 301 P.3d 850 (2013) (form orders statistically closing a case are not final and appealable). This court lacks jurisdiction, and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
