    Javier AGUILAR-ESPARZA, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
    No. 77257
    Supreme Court of Nevada.
    FILED NOVEMBER 19, 2018
    Javier Aguilar-Esparza
    Attorney General/Carson City
    Washoe County District Attorney
    ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
    This is a pro se appeal from a purported district court order dismissing a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Lynne K. Simons, Judge.
    This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. No decision had been made on the petition when appellant filed his appeal on October 22, 2018. Thus, the notice of appeal is premature. See NRS 177.015(3). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we
    ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
