IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

RENARD TRUMAN POLK, No. 74375 Appellant, vs. KELLY BELLANGER; TARA CARPENTER; DWAYNE DEAL; ROBERT LEGRAND, WARDEN; AND FILED MARIA WARD, Respondents.

NOV 1 7 2017 BROWN

C.31) ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from a district court order affirming a justice court decision. Eleventh Judicial District Court, Pershing County; Jim C. Shirley, Judge.

Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, 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). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we therefore ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
