ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a proper person appeal from a district court partial summary judgment and partial dismissal for lack of jurisdiction of a tort action. Sixth Judicial District Court, Pershing County; Michael Montero, Judge.

After the district court's judgment was entered, but before filing the notice of appeal, appellant filed a motion for amendment of the judgment pursuant to NRCP 59. This motion tolled the time to appeal. NRAP 4(a)(4). Because the motion has not been resolved by the district court, we conclude that appellant's notice of appeal is premature and we therefore lack jurisdiction. NRAP 4(a)(6). Any aggrieved party may file a notice of appeal after the NRCP 59 motion is resolved. NRAP 4(a)(4). Accordingly, we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
