IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

SYLVESTER TANNER, JR., No. 71335 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED Respondent. OCT 0 6 2016 TRACIE K LINDEMAN CLERK OF SUPREME COURT ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL BY DEPUTY CLERK)

This appeal was initiated by the filing of a pro se appeal.

Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jennifer P. Togliatti, Judge.

Appellant filed a notice of appeal on September 14, 2016. The notice of appeal does not designate the judgment or order being appealed.

The documents before this court indicate that appellant has not yet been sentenced. Although NRS 177.015(3) indicates that appellant may appeal from "a final judgment or verdict in a criminal case," there was no final judgment or verdict that could be the subject of this appeal. Because there has not been an "announcement of a decision, sentence, or order," we cannot treat this as a premature appeal from the judgment of conviction.

See NRAP 4(b)(2). Because appellant failed to designate an appealable order, we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
