Alvin J. GRIFFIN, III, Appellant, v. Agata MACINKIEWICH, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order dismissing appellant's appeal from a justice court decision. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Richard Scotti, Judge.
Review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district courts have final appellate jurisdiction over cases arising in the justice courts. Nev, Const. art. 6, § 6; see also Waugh v. Casazza, 85 Nev. 520, 521, 458 P.2d 359, 360 (1969). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal, and therefore
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.1
FOOTNOTES
