                                  Appellant,
                              vs.

                CALVIN JOHNSON, WARDEN HDSP,
                                  Respondents.                                 APR 3 0 2021
                                                                             ELIZABETH A. BROWN
                                                                           CLERK OF SUPREME COURT
                                                                          BY
                                                                                DEPUTALER

                                         ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

                            This is a pro se appeal from a purported district court order
                denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Eighth
                Judicial District Court, Clark County; Christy L. Craig, Judge.
                            On April 7, 2021, appellant filed a notice of appeal from a
                purported district court order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of
                habeas corpus. However, the district court has not made a decision on
                appellant's petition at the time of the filing of the notice of appeal. Thus,
                the notice of appeal is premature.      See NRS 177.015(3) (stating that a
                defendant only may appeal from a final judgment or verdict). Appellant
                may file an appeal from a final order of the district court denying the
                petition. Accordingly, this court
                            ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
