IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

FREDERICK OMOYUMA SILVER, No. 81451 Appellant, vs. CANDICE KATIE TOWNER, : FILED Respondent. . AUG 1 2020 A. BROWN OF PRENE lT BY CLERK ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from a minute order resolving various motions. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; T. Arthur Ritchie, Jr., Judge.

Initial review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The district court's minute order is not effective and cannot be appealed. See State, Div. of Child & Family Servs. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 445, 454, 92 P.3d 1239, 1245 (2004) ("[D]ispositional court orders that are not administrative in nature, but deal with the procedural posture or merits of the underlying controversy, must be written, signed, and filed before they become effective."); Rust v. Clark Cty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 689, 747 P.2d 1380, 1382 (1987) (stating that the district court's minute order is ineffective and cannot be appealed).

Accordingly, it appears that this court lacks jurisdiction, and this court ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
