Bryan Michael FERGASON, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada; and Calvin Johnson, Warden HDSP, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
On April 7, 2021, appellant filed a notice of appeal from a purported district court order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. However, the district court has not made a decision on appellant's petition at the time of the filing of the notice of appeal. Thus, the notice of appeal is premature. See NRS 177.015(3) (stating that a defendant only may appeal from a final judgment or verdict). Appellant may file an appeal from a final order of the district court denying the petition. Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
