The district court concluded that appellants, who are not attorneys, could not bring claims on behalf of the Criollo Family Trust. We agree. A nonlawyer may not represent a trust in this or any other Nevada court. Salman v. Newell, 110 Nev. 1333, 1336, 885 P.2d 607, 608 (1994) (observing that no statute or rule permits a nonlawyer to represent an entity and concluding that an entity cannot proceed in proper person). As appellants' claims were brought for purposes of vindicating the trust's rights, and did not involve the appellants' personal rights, the district court properly dismissed the complaint. Accordingly, we ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED. 2
