William RIVERA, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.

William Rivera Attorney General/Carson City Clark County District Attorney


William Rivera

Attorney General/Carson City

Clark County District Attorney

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a purported district court order denying a motion to modify sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Eric Johnson, Judge.

This court’s review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no decision had been made on the motion when appellant filed the notice of appeal on October 18, 2019. 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). Accordingly, this court

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
