This is a pro se appeal from a judgment of conviction. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Douglas W. Herndon, Judge. This court's preliminary review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered the judgment of conviction on April 16, 2018. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until August 20, 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, this court ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
