Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

LESEAN TARUS COLLINS, No. 80535 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED Respondent.

ELTZI SROWN CLERK •=7..i.ME rouî BY DEPUTTLERK ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a judgment of conviction. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Michelle Leavitt, Judge. This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered the judgment of conviction on March 4, 2010. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until February 3, 2020, well after 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 lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
