HERBERT BURKE, Appellant, v. DANIEL S. SIMPSON, Respondent.


ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal from a district court order dismissing an appeal from a justice court decision. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James Todd Russell, Judge.

Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district courts have final appellate jurisdiction over cases arising in the justice courts. Nev, Const. art. 6, § 6; see also Waugh v. Casazza, 85 Nev. 520, 521, 458 P.2d 359, 360 (1969). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we therefore

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
