IMPERIA BRAND STRATEGIES SOLUTIONS LTD v. PRO AG INC LLC QXV LLC LLC (2018)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a motion to revoke and granting motions to dismiss. Tenth Judicial District Court, Churchill County; William A. Maddox, Judge.

Our review of the documents before us reveals a jurisdictional defect. A nonlawyer may not represent an entity such as a corporation in this or any other Nevada court. Guerin v. Guerin, 116 Nev. 210, 214, 993 P.2d 1256, 1258 (2000); Sunde v. Contel of California, 112 Nev. 541, 915 P.2d 298 (1996); Salman v. Newell, 110 Nev. 1333, 1336, 885 P.2d 607, 608 (1994) (observing that no statute or rule permits a nonlawyer to represent an entity and concluding that an entity cannot proceed in proper person). A notice of appeal that is the product of the unauthorized practice of law fads to confer jurisdiction on this court. Guerin, 116 Nev. at 214, 993 P.2d at 1258. Here, appellant's notice of appeal was signed by Gary C J David, a nonlawyer. The notice of appeal is therefore ineffective, and we dismiss the appeal.

It is so ORDERED.
