RENARD TRUMAN POLK, Appellant, v. KELLY BELLANGER; TARA CARPENTER; DWAYNE DEAL; ROBERT LEGRAND, WARDEN; AND MARIA WARD, Respondents.


ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order affirming a justice court decision. Eleventh Judicial District Court, Pershing County; Jim C. Shirley, 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.
