VOSS v. STATE (2020)

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a motion for new trial. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Connie J. Steinheimer, Judge.

On July 8, 1998, Voss was convicted, pursuant to a jury verdict, of first-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon and first-degree kidnapping.¹ Voss contends the district court erred by denying his motion for a new trial filed on September 25, 2019. Voss filed his motion for a new trial 21 years after the jury rendered its verdict, and the motion was therefore untimely filed. See NRS 176.515(3), (4). Contrary to Voss's assertions, there is no exception to these time limits for claims of fraud upon the court. Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
