DEPUTY CLERK
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from an order denying a petition to
issue letters of administration. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark
County; Gloria Sturman, 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 have been prematurely filed under NRAP 4(a) because
it appears that the district court has not entered a final written judgment
resolving the petition. A notice of appeal filed before entry of a final
written judgment is premature and of no effect. See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust v.
Clark Cty. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987). We
conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
