MICHAEL LEE JOHNSON, Appellant, v. NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF PRISON; AND LT. SCALLY, Respondents.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This proper person appeal challenges a district court oral ruling in an appeal to the district court from the justice court. Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals multiple jurisdictional defects. Preliminarily, no appeal may be taken from a district court's oral ruling. Rust v. Clark Cnty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 689, 747 P.2d 1380, 1382 (1987). Moreover, 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) (noting that "[t]he district court has final appellate jurisdiction in cases arising in the justice's court"). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
