Manuel WINN, Appellant, v. The State of Nevada DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; James Dzurenda; Warden Dwight Neven; Officer B. Hampton; and Officer W. Brown, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying an appeal from a justice court judgment. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tierra Danielle Jones, 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
1. Respondent's motion to dismiss appeal is denied as moot.
