THE STATE OF NEVADA

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

FILED HUMAN SERVICES, DIVISION OF MAY 0 3 2016 WELFARE & SUPPORTIVE SERVICES;

TRACIE K. UNDEMAN AND CRYSTAL WASHINGTON, CLERK OF SUPREME COURT BY Respondents. DEPUTY CLERK

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from "the denial of Petitioner's Motion To Reduce And Or Suspend Child Support Enforcement." Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; Charles J. Hoskin, Judge.

Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that 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.
