FERRILL JOSEPH VOLPICELLI, Appellant, v. NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, 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An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority.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 an appeal from a district court order dismissing an appeal from a justice court judgment. Eleventh Judicial District Court, Pershing County; Michael Montero, Judge. Appellant is proceeding in pro se pursuant to this court's pilot program for civil litigants proceeding without counsel.
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.
