IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA VICTOR DALE TULLIS, No. 70880 Appellant, vs. NICHOL ADRIENNE TULLIS, Respondent. FILED JAN 0 6 2017

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is an appeal from district court orders in an action for divorce. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Mathew Harter, Judge.

When our preliminary review of the docketing statement and the NRAP 3(g) documents revealed a potential jurisdictional defect, on November 17, 2016, we directed appellant to, within 30 days, show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

Specifically, we noted that it appeared that the notice of appeal was prematurely filed before the entry of a final written judgment, and that a district court's minute order is ineffective for any purpose and cannot be appealed. See Rust v. Clark Cnty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987).

SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA

(0) 1947A To date, appellant has failed to respond to our order to show cause or to otherwise demonstrate that this court has jurisdiction to consider this appeal. Accordingly, it appears we lack jurisdiction, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
