EDWARD EARL WALKER, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.

UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Edward Earl Walker Attorney General/Carson City Clark County District Attorney
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Herndon, J.
This is a pro se appeal from the purported denial of a petition for writ of mandamus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Erika D. Ballou, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no decision had been made on the petition for writ of mandamus when appellant filed the notice of appeal on February 5, 2024. 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
Appellant may file a new notice of appeal, if aggrieved, once the district court enters a written order resolving the mandamus petition.
