NEVADA,
Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from an order of the district court
affirming a judgment of the justice court in a small claims matter. Eighth
Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jerry A. Wiese, Judge.
Our review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect.
Specifically, appellant's case arose in the justice court. The district court
has final appellate jurisdiction over a case arising in the justice court.
Nev. Const. art. 6, sec. 6; Tripp v. City of Sparks, 92 Nev. 362, 363, 550
P.2d 419, 419 (1976). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to
consider this appeal, and we
ORDER this appsALDISMISSED. 1
