Tagle v. State, Dep't. of Corrections

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

VICTOR TAGLE, No. 68976 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; FILED LINDA ADAMS; MS. NASH; AND W.D. FEB 0 1 2016 NEVEN, Respondents.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from a district court order issued September 8, 2015. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Elissa F. Cadish, 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 premature under NRAP 4(a) because it appears that it was filed before the entry of a final written judgment, and is therefore of no effect. See NRAP 4(a)(1); Rust v. Clark Cty. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987). Second, this appears to be an appeal from a district court order in an appeal from a justice court judgment. 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) (holding that district court has final appellate jurisdiction in cases arising in the justice's court).

Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we therefore ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.'
