IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

MICHAEL ALLEN MANNING, No. 80252 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED Respondent.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This appeal was initiated by the filing of a pro se notice of appeal. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; William D. Kephart, This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect.

It appears that appellant is attempting to appeal from a district court order resolving a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. However, no decision had been made on the petition when appellant filed the notice of appeal on December 13, 2019. Rather, on November 6, 2019, the district court took the petition off the court's calendar. Thus, this appeal is premature. See NRS 177.015(3). Accordingly, this court ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
