Justin Alexander Rashad LARKINS, Appellant, v. Lucy GILMORE, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Appellant states in his notice of appeal that he appeals from an order terminating his parental rights, entered in district court case R-12-169268-R, and dated February of 2016. However, no order terminating parental rights appears on the district court docket sheet. The district court docket sheet also does not indicate that any petition or motion to terminate parental rights was filed. Accordingly, as appellant fails to identify an appealable order entered in the underlying district court case, this court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
