Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

DANIEL RAYMOND BERNAL, No. 81921 Appellant, ' vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a judgrnent of conviction. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Scott N. Freeman, Judge. This court's preliminary review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered the judgment of conviction on August 5, 2020. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until September 24, 2020, well beyond the expiration of the 30- day appeal period prescribed by NRAP 4(b). "[A]n untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court." Lozada v. State, 110 Nev. 349, 352, 871 P.2d 944, 946 (1994). Accordingly, this court concludes that it lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
