JABLONSKI ENTERPRISES, LTD., A NEVADA ENTITY, Appellant, v. SUMMA, LLC, A NEVADA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court order quieting title and cancelling a notice of lis pendens. Fifth Judicial District Court, Nye County; Kimberly A. Wanker, Judge.
Our review of the documents before us reveals a jurisdictional defect. The notice of appeal filed by appellant Jablonski Enterprises, LTD, is signed by Denise Clark, a nonlawyer. A nonlawyer may not represent an entity such as a corporation in this or any other Nevada court. Guerin v. Guerin, 116 Nev. 210, 214, 993 P.2d 1256, 1258 (2000); Sunde v. Contel of California, 112 Nev. 541, 915 P.2d 298 (1996); Salman v. Newell, 110 Nev. 1333, 1336, 885 P.2d 607, 608 (1994) (observing that no statute or rule permits a nonlawyer to represent an entity and concluding that an entity cannot proceed in proper person). A notice of appeal that is the product of the unauthorized practice of law fails to confer jurisdiction on this court. Guerin, 116 Nev. at 214, 993 P.2d at 1258. The notice of appeal is therefore ineffective, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
