                Appellant,
                vs.
                LAW LIBRARY NDOC; H.D.S.P.;

                                                                                   FILED
                NEVADA,                                                            FEB 0 3 2016
                Respondents.
                                                                                 TRACE K. UNOEMAN
                                                                              CLERK OF SUPREME COURT
                                                                              BY
                                     ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL                       DEPUTY CLERK

                            This is a pro se appeal from an order of the district court
                affirming a judgment of the justice court. Eighth Judicial District Court,
                Clark County; Elissa F. Cadish, Judge.
                            Our review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect.
                Specifically, appellant's case arose in the justice court. The district court
                has final appellate jurisdiction over a case arising in the justice court.
                Nev. Const. art. 6, sec. 6; Tripp v. City of Sparks, 92 Nev. 362, 363, 550
P.2d 419, 419 (1976). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to
                consider this appeal, and we
                            ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.'

                                                                         J.

                                               J.

                      'In light of this disposition, all pending motions are denied as moot.
