ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order granting a
motion to dismiss. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James Todd

Russell, Judge.

Review of the notice of appeal and other documents before this
court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The notice of appeal was prematurely
filed in the district court after the filing of a timely tolling motion for
rehearing and before that tolling motion was resolved via a written order
entered in the district court. See NRAP 4(a)(4) (regarding tolling motions);
AA Primo Builders, LLC v. Washington, 126 Nev. 578, 585, 245 P.3d 1190,
1195 (2010) (describing when a post-judgment motion carries tolling effect).
To date, it appears that the tolling motion remains pending in the district

court. As this court lacks jurisdiction to consider a premature notice of

appeal, see NRAP 4(a)(6) (“A premature notice of appeal does not divest the

district court of jurisdiction.”), this court

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
