IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

LEONARD JOSEPH BENTZ, JR., No. 71141 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED Respondent. NOV 2 3 2016

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from an order of the district court affirming a conviction entered in the justice court. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Rob Bare, 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.
