YASMEEN AL-FAROUK, Appellant, v. EMPLOYMENT SECURITY DIVISION, STATE OF NEVADA; KRISTINE NELSON, IN HER CAPACITY AS ADMINISTRATOR OF THE EMPLOYMENT SECURITY DIVISION; AND J. THOMAS SUSICH, IN HIS CAPACITY AS CHAIRPERSON OF THE EMPLOYMENT SECURITY DIVISION BOARD OF REVIEW, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a petition for judicial review. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Anna C. Albertson, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, this appeal is untimely. The order denying appellant's petition for judicial review was entered by the district court on August 2, 2023. Notice of entry of that order was served the same day. Appellant filed the notice of appeal in the district court on May 27, 2025, well after the time to file the notice of appeal had expired. This court “may not extend the time to file a notice of appeal except as provided in [NRAP] 4(c).” NRAP 26(b)(1)(A). NRAP 4(c) does not apply to this civil appeal. An untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court. See Healy v. Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft, 103 Nev, 329, 331, 741 P.2d 432, 433 (1987). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction and
