IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

GLORIA C. YASOL, No. 73930 Appellant, vs. DONNA GREENHILL; AND LYLE M. FILED GREENHILL, Respondents. OCT 3 0 2017 ELIZASETH A. BROWN CLERK OF SUPREME COURT DEPUTY CLERK

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from an order awarding damages against appellant in a property dispute. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Joseph Hardy, Jr., Judge.

Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals jurisdictional defects. Specifically, appellant fails to identify an appealable order. Appellant refers in the notice of appeal to an order entered August 29, 2017. The only order entered on or about August 29, 2017, is a stipulation and order entered August 28, 2017, to continue a hearing on punitive damages and is not substantively appealable. See NRAP 3A(b); Taylor Constr. Co. a Hilton Hotels, 100 Nev. 207, 678 P.2d 1152 (1984).

To the extent appellant proposes to appeal from the July 31, 2017, findings of fact, conclusions of law, and judgment resolving the claims and counterclaims between the parties, it appears that the notice of appeal is premature because it was filed before the entry of a final written judgment, and is therefore of no effect. See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust v. Clark Cty.

School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987). The order entered July 31, 2017, resolving the claims and counterclaims of the parties, leaves open SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA (0) 1947A -31lHo the issue of punitive damages for further proceedings and is therefore not final. See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 996 P.2d 416 (2000) (defining a final judgment as one that disposes of all issues presented and leaves nothing for the court's future consideration except for post-judgment issues such as attorney fees and costs). It appears from the district court docket entries that the district court, on October 9, 2017, addressed punitive damages and claims for fees and costs by minute order. See Rust, 103 Nev. at 689, 747 P.2d at 1382 ("The district court's oral pronouncement from the bench, the clerk's minute order, and even an unfiled written order are ineffective for any purpose."). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
