SHAQUILLE LAFOND, Appellant, v. RIO PROPERTIES, LLC, A NEVADA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, D/B/A RIO ALL SUITE HOTEL AND CASINO, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court summary judgment. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jessica K. Peterson, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The challenged order was entered in the district court on April 17, 2023, and notice of entry of that order was served on appellant, by mail, that same day. The notice of appeal was untimely filed in the district court on May 30, 2023, eight days after expiration of the appeal period. See NRAP 4(a)(1) (a notice of appeal must generally be filed in the district court within 30 days after service of written notice of entry of the appeal-from order); NRCP 6(d) and NRAP 26(c) (adding 3 additional days to a time period when a party must act after being served by mail). This court lacks jurisdiction to consider an untimely filed notice of appeal. Healy v. Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft, 103 Nev. 329, 330, 741 P.2d 432, 432 (1987). Accordingly, this courts lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
