IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

GENE ANTHONY ALLEN, No. 76461 Appellant, vs. L.C.C.; AND N.D.O.C., FILED Respondents. AUG 0 3 2018 ELIZABETH A. BROWN CLERK OF SW:ILL:ME COURT BY

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from a purported district court order dismissing appellant's case. Eleventh Judicial District Court, Pershing County; Jim C. Shirley, Judge. Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the notice of appeal fails to identify any appealable order. And it appears from the district court docket entries that no appealable order has been entered. See NRAP 3A. A notice of appeal filed before entry of a final written judgment is premature and of no effect. See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust v. Clark Cty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987). We conclude that we lack jurisdiction and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
