JESSE JAMES BUYTEN, Appellant, v. MILLARD REALTY AND CONSTRUCTION, Respondent.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a proper person appeal from a district court order resolving an appeal from a justice court action. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James E. Wilson, Judge.
Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, 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) (noting that "[t]he district court has final appellate jurisdiction in cases arising in the justice's court"). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we
In light of this order, we deny as moot appellant's November 13, 2013, motion for stay. We further direct the clerk of this court to return, unfiled, the documents provisionally received in this court on December 5 and 6, 2013.
