GLEN TROGDON, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; GREGORY COX, DIR.; AND NDOC SOUTHERN ADMINISTRATIVE COMMAND CENTER, Respondents.


ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order affirming a justice court judgment. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Michelle Leavitt, Judge.

Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Appellant's case arose in justice court. 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) (holding that 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 therefore

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
