Const. art, 6, § 6 (district courts “have final appellate jurisdiction in cases arising in Justices Courts ․”); Waugh v. Casazza, 85 Nev. 520, 458 P.2d 359 (1969) (A district court order resolving an appeal from justice court is not appealable). Accordingly, it appears that we lack jurisdiction and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
