                                                                               FILED
                HUMAN SERVICES, DIVISION OF                                    MAY 0 3 2016

                                                                             TRACIE K. UNDEMAN
                AND CRYSTAL WASHINGTON,                                   CLERK OF SUPREME COURT
                                                                          BY
                                  Respondents.                                 DEPUTY CLERK




                                      ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
                            This is a pro se appeal from "the denial of Petitioner's Motion
                To Reduce And Or Suspend Child Support Enforcement." Eighth Judicial
                District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; Charles J. Hoskin,
                Judge.
                            Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant
                to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that
                the notice of appeal was prematurely filed, before the entry of a final
                written judgment, and is therefore of no effect.   See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust v.
