Polk v. Sandoval

Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

RENARD TRUMAN POLK, No. 71648 Appellant, vs. THE HONORABLE BRIAN SANDOVAL; ROBERT LEGRAND, WARDEN; CATHERINE CORTEZ FILED MASTO; DOUGLAS COUNTY; DEC 0 2 2016 PERSHING COUNTY; CLARK EIJZABETh A. BROWN COUNTY; AND CENTRAL BCLERib..Dtt Y PREME COURT ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE OF NDOC, DEPUTY CLERK Respondents.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from an order denying appellant's appeal of a justice court decision. Eleventh Judicial District Court, Pershing County; Michael Montero, Judge.

Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals two jurisdictional defects. First, the notice of appeal appears to be untimely filed under NRAP 4(a) because it appears that it was filed more than thirty days after service of written notice of entry of the judgment or order. See NRAP 4(a)(1); NRAP 26(c). Written notice of entry was served on appellant by mail on May 27, 2015. The notice of appeal was filed October 31, 2016.

Second, the district courts have final appellate jurisdiction over cases arising in the justice courts. Nev, Const. art. 6, § 6; see also Waugh v. Casazza, 85 Nev. 520, 521, 458 P.2d 359, 360 (1969).

SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA
