IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA DAMON SAMERI CHANEY, No. 85364 Appellant, vs. FILE WARDEN WILLIAM GITTERE, Respondent. OCT 0 6 2022 ELIZABETH A. BROWN CLERK OFMPREME COURT BY S. Y ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL DEPUTY CLERK 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; Erika D. Ballou, Judge. This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. No decision, oral or written, had been made on the petition when appellant filed his appeal on September 14, 2022. Rather, on September 14, 2022, the district court entered an order transferring the matter to the Seventh Judicial District Court. Thus, this appeal is premature. See NRS 177.015(3) (stating that a defendant only may appeal from a final judgment or verdict). Accordingly, this court ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.' J. Cadish Sr.J. Pickering "The Honorable Mark Gibbons, Senior Justice, participated in this matter under a general order of assignment. SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA ( 0) 1947A c4gDr. dA -3632- cc: Hon. Erika D.
