IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

STEVEN ROBERT HALVERSON, No. 76176 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED Respondent. JUL 0 6 2018 A. BR UPREME

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL RY, Witt CLERK

This is a pro se appeal from a purported district court order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Kenneth C. Cory, Judge. This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. No decision had been made on the petition when appellant filed his appeal on June 15, 2018. Thus, the notice of appeal is premature. See NRS 177.015(3). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
