Respondent. CLERK OF SUPREME COURT
DEPUTY CLERK
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a purported order of the district court
terminating appellant's parental rights. Fifth Judicial District Court, Nye
County; David R. Gamble, Judge.
Our initial review of the docketing statement and other
documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically,
the notice of appeal was prematurely filed because no written order has
been entered by the district court terminating appellant's parental rights.
See NRAP 4(a)(6); Rust v. Clark Cnty. Sch, Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 688-89.
747 P.2d 1380, 1381-82 (1987), Accordingly, we conclude that we lack
jurisdiction over this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED .1
