TASHAMI JAMAL SIMS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court order denying a pretrial petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On April 7, 2026, this court ordered counsel for appellant to show cause, within 21 days, why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. To date, appellant's counsel has failed to respond.
Accordingly, this court concludes that it lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal. See Gary v. Sheriff, 96 Nev. 78, 605 P.2d 212 (1980) (an order denying pretrial habeas relief is an intermediate order that may be challenged in a timely appeal from the judgment of conviction); Sheriff v. Gillock, 112 Nev. 213, 912 P.2d 274 (1996) (an order denying a pretrial habeas petition cannot be appealed by the defendant; only the State may appeal from a district court order granting or denying a pretrial petition for a writ of habeas corpus). Therefore, we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
