Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

DENNIS JUNIOR COOPER, III, No. 79580 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED Respondent. OCT 1 5 2019 BRAE-111i A. BROWN CLERK pF. SUPREME COURT

(9" DEPUTY. C.LitK.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a judgment of conviction. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Kathleen E. Delaney, Judge. This court's preliminary review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered the judgment of conviction on March 19, 2014. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until September 5, 2019, 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, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
