FREDERICK VONSEYDEWITZ AN INDIVIDUAL v. DEREK MOELLINGER FOUNDER OWNER OF VICE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT VICE REALTY (2024)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a judgment upon jury verdict in the short trial program. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Mark. R. Denton, Judge; Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Cheryl A. Wingate, Short Trial Judge.

Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. Judgments in the short trial program must be signed by the district court judge before they become effective and appealable. See NSTR 3(d) (providing that a short trial judge “shall have all the powers and authority of a district court judge except with respect to the final judgment” and that a “proposed judgment from a short trial judge is not effective until expressly approved by the district court as evidenced by the signature of the district court judge” (emphasis added)). The judgment challenged here is signed only by the short trial judge and is thus not effective. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction and

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
