MONICA SIMS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying and dismissing appellant's appeal of a matter arising in justice court. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Barry L. Breslow, Judge.
Our review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, appellant's case arose in the justice court. The district court has final appellate jurisdiction over a case arising in the justice court. Nev. Const. art. 6, § 6; Waugh v. Casazza, 85 Nev. 520, 521, 458 P.2d 359, 360 (1969). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
