ANTHONY DEWANE BAILEY, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a petition for writ of mandamus and denying a motion for order to show cause. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Christy L. Craig, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals jurisdictional defects. Specifically, the district court served notice of entry of its order dismissing appellant's petition by mail on March 24, 2025. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until May 19, 2025, well after the expiration of the 30-day appeal period prescribed by NRS 34.575. See NRAP 4(b); 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). In addition, that order is already on appeal in Docket No. 90483. A second duplicate appeal may not be pursued.
No statute or court rule allows for an appeal from an order denying a motion for order to show cause. See Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (explaining that this court has jurisdiction only when statute or court rule provides for appeal). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
