DANIEL LAMONT SQUIRES, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from an amended judgment of conviction and order revoking probation. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Erika D. Ballou, Judge.
The district court entered the challenged judgment and order on December 30, 2024. Appellant's notice of appeal was therefore due by January 29, 2025. NRAP 4(b)(1)(A). Appellant's notice of appeal, however, was not filed in the district court until January 30, 2025, one day after the expiration of the 30-day appeal period prescribed by NRAP 4(b). Therefore, on February 4, 2025, this court entered an order directing appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant's counsel filed a response on February 11, 2025, stating that he did, in fact, file the notice of appeal on January 30, 2025.
“[A]n untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court.” Lozada v. State, 110 Nev. 349, 352, 871 P.2d 944, 946 (1994). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
