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.

SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA (Uj 1947A (0-138/ Clark Cty. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987).

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