Holmes v. Kimble-Simms

Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

WILBERT ROY HOLMES, No, 77770 Appellant, vs. MARSHA KIMBLE-SIMMS, Respondent.

FILED MAR 2 2 2019 ELCASETH A. SROWN CLERK OF SUPREME COURT BY CLBkK

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from a district court order dismissing appellant's complaint. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Elizabeth Goff Gonzalez, Judge.

Our review of the documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, appellant filed a tolling motion in district court before filing his notice of appeal. See AA Primo Builders, LLC v. Washington, 126 Nev. 578, 584-85, 245 P.3d 1190, 1192-93 (2010). As that motion has not been resolved by the district court, appellant's notice of appeal is premature, and it fails to confer jurisdiction on this court. See NRAP 4(a)(6); Rust v. Clark Cty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 689, 747 P.2d 1380, 1382(1987) (explaining that the district court's oral pronouncement from the bench, the clerk's minute order, and even an unfiled written order cannot be appealed). Accordingly, we order this appeal dismissed. Once a

It is so ORDERED.
