IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

RAY SHARPE, No. 76064 Appellant, vs. ALISHA GRUNDY, Respondent. FILE

PUTY CLERK

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal. 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 a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the notice of appeal appears to be untimely filed under NRAP 4(a) because it appears that it was prematurely 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). Moreover, the district court minutes expressly anticipate additional proceedings. In addition, it appears that the order is not substantively appealable. See NRAP 3A(b). This court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal only when the appeal is authorized by statute or court rule. Taylor Constr. Co. v. Hilton Hotels, 100 Nev. 207 678 P.2d 1152 (1984). Appellant appears to challenge a decision after an evidentiary hearing to prove up
