ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal, from a district court order reversing and remanding an order of the justice court and imposing sanctions against appellant. Seventh Judicial District Court, White Pine County; Gary Fairman, Judge.

Our review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. No statute or court rule appears to permit an appeal from a district court order resolving an appeal from justice court and imposing sanctions. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (this court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule”); Nev. 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.
