CALVIN JAMES LESLIE, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This appeal was initiated by the filing of a pro se notice of appeal. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Joseph Hardy, Jr., Judge.
Appellant's notice of appeal fails to identify any decisions of the district court. See NRAP 3(c)(1)(B). To the extent, if any, appellant's notice of appeal can be construed as challenging the district court's September 28, 2023, minute order granting his motion to dismiss counsel, appellant does not appear to be aggrieved by the order and no statute or court rule allows for an appeal from this order. See Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (explaining that this court has jurisdiction only when a statute or court rule provides for an appeal). To the extent, if any, appellant's notice of appeal can be construed as challenging the June 9, 2023, judgment of conviction, the notice of appeal is untimely. Lozada v. State, 110 Nev. 349, 352, 871 P.2d 944, 946 (1994) (explaining that an untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court). This court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
