Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

HAROLD EDWARDS, No. 80901 Appellant, vs. SOUTHERN DESERT CORRECTIONAL FILED CENTER; OFFICER J. BILLEY; AND JO GENTRY, WARDEN, APR 0 9 2020 Res s ondents. ELI CLE BY DEPti TY CLERK ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is an appeal from a purported district court order dismissing appellant's claims and an order closing appellant's case. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Trevor L. Atkin, Judge. 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 filed before the entry of a final written judgment and is therefore of no effect. See NEAP 4(a)(1); Rust v. Clark Cty. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987) (explaining that the district court's oral pronouncement from the bench, the clerk's minute order, and even an unfiled written order cannot be appealed); Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 301 P.3d 850 (2013) (form orders statistically closing a case are not final and appealable). This court lacks jurisdiction, and ORDERS this appeal ISMISSED.
