In Re: Parental Rights as to A.S.O. ( 2015 )

 previously terminated in court. The district court minutes also• indicate
that the petition was orally granted as to Alexis 0. However, no written
order expressly resolved the petition as to Alexis 0. Accordingly, we
directed appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed
as premature. See NRAP 3A(b)(1) (allowing an appeal from a final
judgment); Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417
(2000); Rust v. Clark Cnty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686 689, 747 P.2d 1380,
1382 (1987) (recognizing that an oral pronouncement from the bench is
ineffective).
In response, appellant argues that the order denying the
petition as to Robert I. should be construed as also resolving the petition
as to Alexis 0. Appellant offers no cogent argument in support of this
contention. Instead, it asserts that the district court orally conditionally
granted the termination petition as to Alexis 0., but that the condition
was not fulfilled. Thus, appellant contends, the district court order did not
terminate Alexis 0.'s parental rights.'
The district court's written order notes, in the factual
background section, that Alexis 0.'s parental rights were previously
terminated in court. The order makes specific findings of fact and
conclusions of law with respect to Robert I. and denies the petition as to
him, but makes no findings, conclusions, or orders with respect to Alexis
0. Under these circumstances, we conclude that the district court's order
does not resolve the petition with respect to Alexis 0. Accordingly, as it
does not appear that any other written order resolves the petition as to
1 We note this is in direct conflict with the written order, which
states that Alexis 0.'s parental rights were terminated.
