                         IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA


                IN THE MATTER OF DEBORAH                              No. 69836
                EDWARDS, DECEASED.

                CARL DEAN EDWARDS,
                                Appellant,
                                                                          FILED
                                  V S.                                     MAR 1 1 2016
                UNKNOWN                                                   TRA8   n. LIN EMAN
                                           Respondent.                              R




                                         ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
                            This is a pro se appeal from an order denying a motion to
                transport an inmate and denying a petition for letters of administration to
                issue. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Gloria Sturman,
                Judge.
                            Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant
                to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the notice of
                appeal appears to be prematurely filed under NEAP 4(a) because it
                appears that it was filed before the entry of a final written judgment, and
                is therefore of no effect.    See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust v. Clark Cty. School
                District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987). Accordingly, we conclude
                that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we
                            ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
