VONSEYDEWITZ v. STATE (2021)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a purported district court “Order Granting Summary Judgment pursuant to Defendants’ Renewed Motion to Dismiss decided in this action on March 9, 2021.” Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jessica K. Peterson, Judge.

Review of the notice of appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. No order granting summary judgment appears on the district court docket sheet. Although it appears that a motion to dismiss was orally granted on March 9, 2021, that oral order is not appealable. 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”). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.¹
