ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from an order affirming a justice court decision in a small claims action. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Linda Marie Bell, 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, § 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.
