IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

JOHN JALONI MOLLISON, No. 71582 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED Respondent.

JAN 3 0 2017 ELIZABETH A. BROWN CLERKepf,SpPREME COURT BY • ‘ir DEPU TY ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from a purported decision denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Douglas W. Herndon, Judge.

Our review of the documents filed in this court reveals that the district court orally denied the petition on September 13, 2016, but granted a limited evidentiary hearing on the claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. Thus, appellant's notice of appeal is premature. Because appellant failed to designate an appealable order, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
