MAURY ALOYISIUS SINGER, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying motions to correct illegal sentence and for appointment of counsel. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jennifer L. Schwartz, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered the order denying appellant's motions on July 10, 2025. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until August 28, 2025, well after the expiration of the 30-day appeal period prescribed by NRAP 4(b)(1)(A). See Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 709, 918 P.2d 321,325 (1996); 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). Additionally, no statute or court rule allows for an appeal from an order denying a motion to appoint counsel. See Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352. 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
