DANA JENNIFER PAPPAS, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE ROB BARE, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, and CITY OF LAS VEGAS, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is a petition for a writ of certiorari contending that the district court lacked jurisdiction to reverse an order of the municipal court granting a motion to suppress evidence in a criminal proceeding. Petitioner did not submit an appendix with his petition, see NRAP 21(a)(4); thus, he has not demonstrated circumstances warranting our review, see Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) ("Petitioners carry the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted."). Moreover, his claim that the district court lacks authority over an appeal from a municipal court's grant of a motion to suppress evidence is without merit. See NRS 189.120 (expressly conferring upon the district court the power to review an order of the justice court granting a defendant's motion to suppress evidence); NRS 5.073(1) ("The practice and proceedings in the municipal court must conform, as nearly as practicable, to the practice and proceedings of justice courts in similar cases."); Sandstrom v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 121 Nev. 657, 661-62, 119 P.3d 1250, 1253-54 (2005) (recognizing appeals from municipal courts are treated the same as appeals from justice courts). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
