IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

                 MICHAEL MURRAY; AND MICHAEL                            No. 84888

                 SITUATED,
                                  Appellants,
                                     VS.                               MILE

                                                                        DEPUTY CLERK

                                           ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

                             This is an appeal from district court orders granting in part a
                 motion for costs.    Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Gloria
                 Sturman, Judge; Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Michael A.
                 Cherry, Judge.
                             This court previously ordered appellants to show cause why
                 this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. In particular,
                 it appeared that the June 3, 2022, order is not substantively appealable
                 because it makes the same award of costs as the previous May 17, 2022,
                 order. Thus, it is superfluous as to the award of costs. In addition, it
                 appeared that the notice of appeal from the May 17, 2022, order was
                 prematurely filed after the filing of a timely tolling motion on May 31,
                 2022, but before the district court entered a written order finally resolving
                 that motion.     See NRAP 4(a)(4) (regarding tolling motions); AA Primo
                 Builders LLC u. Washington, 126 Nev. 578, 585, 245 P.3d 1190, 1195
                 (2010) (describing when a post-judgment motion carries tolling effect).

SUPREME COURT
       OF
     NEVADA

(01 I g47A .14
             4
                                                                                         4-70
                And it appeared that the tolling motion remained pending in the district
                court.
                            In response, appellants agree that both orders on appeal grant
                the same award of costs.          Accordingly, the June 3, 2022, order is
                superfluous as to the award of costs and not appealable.        See Campos-
                Garcia v. Johnson, 130 Nev. 610, 611, 331 P.3d 890, 890 (2014) (explaining
                that "superfluous or duplicative orders and judgments—those filed after
                an appealable order has been entered that do nothing more than repeat
                the contents of that order—are not appealable and, generally, should not
                be rendered").
                            Regarding the May 17, 2022, order, appellants do not dispute
                that the notice of appeal was prematurely filed. Appellants also indicate
                that the May 31, 2022, tolling motion remains pending in the district
                court.   This court lacks jurisdiction to consider a premature notice of
                appeal. NRAP 4(a)(6) ("A premature notice of appeal does not divest the
                district court of jurisdiction."). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction,
                and
                            ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.'

                                                                     J.
