Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

JABLONSKI ENTERPRISES, LTD., A No. 77187 NEVADA ENTITY, Appellant, vs. SUMMA, LLC, A NEVADA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, Respondent.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal from a district court order quieting title and cancelling a notice of us pendens. Fifth Judicial District Court, Nye County; Kimberly A. Wanker, Judge. Our review of the documents before us reveals a jurisdictional defect. The notice of appeal filed by appellant Jablonski Enterprises, LTD, is signed by Denise Clark, a nonlawyer. A nonlawyer may not represent an entity such as a corporation in this or any other Nevada court. Guerin V. Guerin, 116 Nev. 210, 214, 993 P.2d 1256, 1258 (2000); Sunde u. Contel of California, 112 Nev. 541, 915 P.2d 298 (1996); Salman v. Newell, 110 Nev. 1333, 1336, 885 P.2d 607, 608 (1994) (observing that no statute or rule permits a nonlawyer to represent an entity and concluding that an entity cannot proceed in proper person). A notice of appeal that is the product of the unauthorized practice of law fails to confer jurisdiction on this court. SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA

(0) 1947A IS- letkil Guerin, 116 Nev. at 214, 993 P.2d at 1258. The notice of appeal is therefore ineffective, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
