IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

BRYAN MICHAEL FERGASON, No. 82757 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA; AND FILE CALVIN JOHNSON, WARDEN HDSP, Respondents. APR 3 0 2021 ELIZABETH A. BROWN CLERK OF SUPREME COURT BY DEPUTALER 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; Christy L. Craig, Judge.

On April 7, 2021, appellant filed a notice of appeal from a purported district court order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. However, the district court has not made a decision on appellant's petition at the time of the filing of the notice of appeal. Thus, the notice of appeal is premature. See NRS 177.015(3) (stating that a defendant only may appeal from a final judgment or verdict). Appellant may file an appeal from a final order of the district court denying the petition. Accordingly, this court ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
