IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

TIMOTHY LEROY WILLIAMS, No, 72515 Appellant, vs. BRIAN WILLIAMS, WARDEN; AND NANCY FLORES, Resnondents. 2 ii EL BROWN CLMrptcAlPla;,Cci C'Cr ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL 1V-51.1V;fril-ttrik

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; Linda Marie Bell, Judge.

On March 17, 2017, the district court issued an order denying the majority of appellant's claims, but directed the State to respond to the remaining claim. As the March 17, 2017, order did not resolve all of appellant's claims, it was not a final appealable order. See NRS 34.575(1).

Thus, appellant's notice of appeal from the March 17, 2017, order is premature. Because appellant failed to designate an appealable order, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.'

Pickering "In light of this order, we take no action on the motion for appointment of counsel filed on March 29, 2017.
