VERA S. BYERS, M.D., AN INDIVIDUAL, Appellant, v. GARY B. THOMSEN, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS TRUSTEE OF THE THOMSEN FAMILY TRUST, UNDER DECLARATION OF TRUST DATED MARCH 11, 2004, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a judgment on jury verdict. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Connie J. Steinheimer, Judge.
Initial review of the docketing statement and documents before this court revealed a potential jurisdictional defect. It appeared the notice of appeal was untimely filed. See NRAP 4(a)(1). Accordingly, this court ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
In response, appellant concedes that she did not timely file the notice of appeal. She nevertheless asks that this court accept jurisdiction over her appeal because she demonstrates good cause for the untimely filing. As pointed out by respondent, this court is unable to extend the time to file the notice of appeal under the circumstances of this case. See NRAP 26(b)(1)(A) (“But the court may not extend the time to file a notice of appeal except as provided in Rule 4(c).”). And this court lacks jurisdiction over an untimely filed notice of appeal. Healy v. Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft, 103 Nev. 329, 330, 741 P.2d 432, 432 (1987). Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
