Supreme Court of Nevada.

Jesse S. HEWITT, Appellant, v. CITY OF FERNLEY, Respondent.

No. 81505

Decided: July 30, 2020

Jesse S. Hewitt Fernley City Attorney

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from an order of the district court affirming a judgment of the municipal court. Third Judicial District Court, Lyon County; Leon Aberasturi, 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. City of Sparks, 92 Nev. 362, 363, 550 P.2d 419, 419 (1976) (“[M]unicipal court conviction is not subject to further review by appeal to this court.”). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
