                           IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA


                 FREDERICK OMOYUMA SILVER,                               No. 81451
                                  Appellant,
                              vs.
                 CANDICE KATIE TOWNER,

                                  Respondent.                                  .    AUG 1 2020
                                                                                          A. BROWN
                                                                                     OF PRENE     lT
                                                                               BY
                                                                                          CLERK
                                       ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
                              This is a pro se appeal from a minute order resolving various
                motions. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark
                County; T. Arthur Ritchie, Jr., Judge.
                              Initial review of the notice of appeal and documents before this
                court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The district court's minute order is not
                effective and cannot be appealed. See State, Div. of Child & Family Servs.
                v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 
120 Nev. 445, 454
, 
92 P.3d 1239, 1245
 (2004)
                ("[D]ispositional court orders that are not administrative in nature, but deal
                with the procedural posture or merits of the underlying controversy, must
                be written, signed, and filed before they become effective."); Rust v. Clark
                Cty. Sch. Dist., 
103 Nev. 686, 689
, 
747 P.2d 1380, 1382
 (1987) (stating that
                the district court's minute order is ineffective and cannot be appealed).
                Accordingly, it appears that this court lacks jurisdiction, and this court
                              ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
