IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

VICTORIA-JOY GODWIN, No. 69646 Appellant, vs. DRISS SBAI; AND BTISSAM GHALMI, SLED Respondents. FEB 0 1 2016

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is an appeal from an order granting a motion to dismiss appellant's complaint. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Kerry Louise Earley, 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 ety. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
