ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL 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; William D. Kephart, Judge.

This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect.

Specifically, no decision had been made on the petition when appellant filed her appeal on January 9, 2019. Thus, this appeal is premature. See NRS 177.015(3). Accordingly, this court ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.'

'The documents before this court indicate that the district court removed the petition from the calendar on January 29, 2018.
