Opinion
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
CESAR EDUARDO ROMERO-MANZO, No. 80744 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent. FILED APR 0 1 2020 BROWN CLERK S •RE BY DEPUTY CLERK
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from "the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order denying/dismissing Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus." Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Kathleen M. Drakulich, Judge; Janet Berry, Judge. This court's review of this appeal reveals jurisdictional defects. Specifically, no decision had been made on the petition when appellant filed his notices of appeal on March 3, 2020, and March 4, 2020. Thus, the notices of appeal are premature. See NRS 177.015(3) (stating that a defendant only may appeal from a final judgment or verdict). To the extent that appellant's appeal is in regard to the judgment of conviction entered on December 15, 2016, the notices of appeal are untimely filed. Lozada v. State, 110 Nev. 349, 871 P.2d 944 (1994) (explaining that an untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court). To the extent that appellant's appeal is in regard to the "Order (1) to Supplement Motion for Withdrawal of Attorney; and (2) Vacating November 8, 2019 Evidentiary Hearing," no statute or court rule provides for an appeal from such an order. Castillo v. State, 106
SUPREME COURT Nev. 349, 792 P.2d 1133 (1990) (right to appeal is statutory; where no OF NEVADA
(0) 1947A .40.0. 7/4 /7'03 statute or court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists). Accordingly, this court ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
