Opinion

No. 69836

IN THE MATTER OF DEBORAH EDWARDS, DECEASED. CARL DEAN EDWARDS, Appellant, v. UNKNOWN Respondent.


ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from an order denying a motion to transport an inmate and denying a petition for letters of administration to issue. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Gloria Sturman, Judge.

Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the notice of appeal appears to be prematurely filed under NRAP 4(a) because it appears that it was filed before the entry of a final written judgment, and is therefore of no effect. See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust v. Clark Cty. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
