ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Appellant filed the notice of appeal pro se but appellant was represented by counsel in the district court and counsel has appeared in this appeal. The district court entered the judgment of conviction on April 28, 2025. Appellant's notice of appeal was therefore due by May 28, 2025. NRAP 4(b)(1)(A). Appellant's notice of appeal, however, was not filed in the district court until October 15, 2025, well after the expiration of the 30-day appeal period prescribed by NRAP 4(b). In response to this court's order to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, appellant concedes that the notice of appeal was untimely filed. “[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). Appellant has not demonstrated that he timely filed the notice of appeal.
