CORSON v. CORSON (2020)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This court's review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. Prior to filing the notice of appeal, appellant timely filed a document in the district court titled “Objection to Proposed Order.” The objection appears to seek a substantive alteration of the order challenged in this appeal and thus appears to constitute a tolling motion. See NRAP 4(a)(4) (regarding tolling motions); AA Primo Builders LLC v. Washington, 126 Nev. 578, 585, 245 P.3d 1190, 1195 (2010) (describing when a post-judgment motion carries tolling effect). To date, it appears that the motion remains pending in the district court. It thus appears that the notice of appeal was prematurely filed and this court lacks jurisdiction. See NRAP 4(a)(6) (“A premature notice of appeal does not divest the district court of jurisdiction.”) Accordingly, this court

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.¹

FOOTNOTES

1.   Appellant may file a new notice of appeal, if deemed warranted, once the district court enters an order resolving the objection.
