Corzine v. State, Dep't. of Corrections

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA MATTHEW CORZINE, No. 69951 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; FILED AND DIRECTOR GREG COX, APR 1 1 2016 Respondents. ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from an order denying a petition for a declaratory judgment. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James Todd Russell, 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 NRAP 4(a) because it appears that it was prematurely filed, before the entry of a final written judgment, and is therefore of no effect. See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust v. Clark fly. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED."
