ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order resolving certain motions for attorney fees, retaining jurisdiction over the Hillygus Family Trust, directing an assessment of respondent Susan Hillygus, and other matters. Second Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Washoe County; Frances Doherty, Judge.
Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a potential jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that the notice of appeal was prematurely filed, before the entry of a final written judgment, and is therefore of no effect. See NRAP 4(a)(1); NRS 164.015(6); Rust v. Clark Cty. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
