IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

SHANDA HARTNELL-LENZEN, A/K/A No. 71999 SHANDA MARIE HARTNELL, vs. Appellant, Fl THE STATE OF NEVADA, ResDondent.

JUN 1 6 2017 ZOWN ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL On May 15, 2017, this court entered an order insicting appellant to clarify the basis for the instant appeal. Appellant has filed a timely response indicating that she seeks to appeal the charges filed against her in her criminal case below.

The district court docket sheet indicates 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 was not an "announcement of a decision, sentence or order" at the time appellant filed her notice of appeal, we cannot treat this as a premature appeal from the judgment of conviction. See NRAP 4(b)(2).

Based on appellant's failure to designate an appealable order, we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
