IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

VICTOR TAGLE, No. 69517 Appellant, vs. U. STORE; DAVID HARMONSON; AND FILED DONNA TENNY, JAN 2 8 2016 Respondents. TRACE K. LINDEMAN CLERK 5/ SUPREME COURT ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL DEPUTY CLERK

This is an appeal from an order dismissing appellant's complaint. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; James Crockett, 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 prematurely filed, before the entry of a final written judgment, and is therefore of no effect. See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust u. Clark Cty. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987) (explaining that a minute order is ineffective for any purpose and cannot be appealed).

Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED. 1
