IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

JOHN ELVIN TURNER, No. 66868 Appellant, vs. H.D.S.P. - DOC; NEVADA INMATE SLED BANK SYSTEM; AND THE STATE OF FEB 0 3 2016 NEVADA, 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
