RONALD R. SANTOS, Appellant, v. DWIGHT W. NEVEN, WARDEN; AND HIGH DESERT STATE PRISON, Respondents.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a proper person appeal arising from an appeal to the district court from a justice court decision. Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, 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 lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we therefore
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
