488 P.3d 581

Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

ERIK DOUGLAS WARD, No. 83005 Appellant,

vs.

SVETLANA RITZA VILLAFLOR, FILE

Respondent. JUN 1 8 2021 ELJZABET A. BROWN CLEBPF SßPREME COURT BY

DEPU1Y CLERK

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal frorn an order establishing child custody.

Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; Charles J. Hoskin, Judge.

Review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the notice of appeal is untimely filed under NRAP 4(a) because it was filed more than 30 days after service of written notice of entry of the judgment or order. See NRAP 4(a)(1); NRAP 26(c). Appellant states he is appealing from the order entered December 11, 2019, notice of entry of which was served the same day. The notice of appeal was filed on May 26, 2021, well beyond the appeal period. An untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court. See Healy v. Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft, 103 Nev. 329, 741 P.2d 432 (1987). This court lacks jurisdiction and ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
