CHARLES CARY DAVIS, Appellant, v. MARGARET THAYER, Respondent.
UNPUBLISHED OPINION
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a purported judgment entered on March 29, 2022. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Joseph Hardy, Jr., Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. No written judgment appears to have been entered by the district court on March 29, 2022. See NRCP 58(c) (a judgment is entered when it is signed by the court, or the clerk if authorized, and filed with the clerk). To the extent appellant appeals from the March 29, 2022, minute order, a minute order is not effective and cannot be appealed. Div. of Child &Family Servs. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 445, 454, 92 P.3d 1239, 1245 (2004) C[D]ispositional court orders that are not administrative in nature, but deal with the procedural posture or merits of the underlying controversy, must be written, signed, and filed before they become effective."). And it does not appear that the district court has entered any appealable order in this matter. Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
If aggrieved, appellant may file a new notice of appeal once the district court enters a final judgment.
