                Appellant,
                vs.
                H.D.S.P. - DOC; NEVADA INMATE
                                                                                   SLED

                Respondents.

                                      ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

                            This is a pro se appeal from an order of the district court
                affirming a judgment of the justice court in a small claims matter. Eighth
                Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jerry A. Wiese, 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 appsALDISMISSED. 1

                is denied as moot.
