IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
IN THE MATTER OF THE PARENTAL I No. 68694
RIGHTS OF D.L.S., JR., MINOR.
DERRICK L. S., SR., FILED
Appellant, MAR 1 1 2016
vs.
STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT
OF FAMILY SERVICES,
Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a decision of the district court to
deny a motion to set aside a judgment pursuant to NRCP 60(b) and
denying a motion for reconsideration. Eighth Judicial District Court,
Family Court Division, Clark County; Frank P. Sullivan, Judge.
Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant
to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the notice of
appeal appears to be untimely filed under NEAP 4(a) because it appears
that it was filed before the entry of a final written judgment, and is
therefore of no effect. See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust v. Clark Cty. School District,
103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987). Memos addressed to appellant from
the district court law clerk, included in the documents transmitted to this
court, do not constitute effective written orders of a district court.
Accordingly it appears that the district court has not considered or ruled
upon appellant's motions. We therefore conclude, without prejudice to
SUPREME COURT
OF
NEVADA
(0) I947A 0
appellant's right to file a notice of appeal from a properly entered final
written order, that we have no jurisdiction over this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
