RICHARD F. MILEWSKI, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a purported district court order denying a motion to correct an illegal sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Monica Trujillo, Judge.
A review of the district court docket and minute entries shows that such a motion was filed in the underlying case, but it does not appear that the district court has entered a final written order disposing of the motion. It therefore appears this appeal is premature. See NRAP 4(b)(1); Rust v. Clark Cty. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987) (only a written judgment may be appealed). Because the docket also does not reflect the oral pronouncement of a decision by the district court, NRAP 4(b)(2) does not allow this court to retain jurisdiction. Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this untimely notice of appeal and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
