MATHEW LEE WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA AND NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order dismissing a complaint. Eleventh Judicial District Court, Pershing County; Jim C. Shirley, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered its order of dismissal on October 7, 2024, and notice of the order's entry was served by mail on October 8, 2024. Appellant's notice of appeal was due by November 12, 2024. See NRAP 4(a)(1); NRAP 26(c). Appellant's notice of appeal was not filed in the district court until December 17, 2024, well beyond the 30-day appeal period. This court lacks jurisdiction to consider an untimely appeal, see Healy v. Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft, 103 Nev. 329, 741 P.2d 432 (1987), and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
