IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

SHAUN MICHAEL HERZOG, No. 69521 Appellant, vs. KELLIE HERZOG, FILED Respondent. JAN 2.8 2016 TRACE K LINDEMAN CLERK OF SUPREME COURT ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL sr DEPUTY CLER This is an appeal from a divorce decree. Second Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Washoe County; Frances Doherty, Judge.

Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the notice of appeal 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 Cty. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987) (explaining that an oral pronouncement from the bench or a minute order is ineffective for any purpose). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
