Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

GEORGE LESLIE VONTRESS, No. 80623 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED Respondent. APR 0 1 2020

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a judgment of conviction and an order denying a presentence motion for a new trial. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Mary Kay Holthus, Judge. This court's review of this appeal reveals jurisdictional defects. First, appellant's appeal from the judgment of conviction entered on June 15, 2012, was untimely filed. See NRAP 4(b); Lozada v. State, 110 Nev. 349, 871 P.2d 944 (1994) (an untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court). Second, appellant has previously appealed this order. See Vontress v. State, Docket No. 62057 (Order Dismissing Appeal, March 13, 2014). A second duplicate appeal may not be pursued. Lastly, no statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an order denying a presentence motion for a new trial.1 See Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 792 P.2d 1133 (1990) (the right to appeal is statutory; where no statute or court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists); State v. Lewis, 124 Nev.

1Appellant's motion for a new trial was orally denied on February 28, 2012, prior to the district court's imposition of sentence. However, the written order memorializing the district court's decision was not entered until February 5, 2020. SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA

(0) )947A age. 20- win 132, 178 P.3d 146 (2008) (holding that "an order that is entered before a judgment of conviction, such as an order granting a presentence motion to withdraw a guilty plea, is intermediate and therefore not generally a final, appealable determination"). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
