No. 79540

Decided: September 30, 2019

James David Allen, II Attorney General/Carson City Sparks City Attorney

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order affirming finding of guilt in the municipal court. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Connie J. Steinheimer, Judge.

This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, appellant's case arose in the municipal court. The district court has final appellate jurisdiction over a case arising in the municipal court. Nev. Const. art. 6, § 6; Tripp v. The City of Sparks, 92 Nev. 362, 550 P.2d 419 (1976). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
