Mario ACCOMANDO, Appellant, v. Georgann Rose ACCOMANDO, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the notice of appeal was untimely filed under NRAP 4(a) because it was filed more than 30 days after service of written notice of entry of the judgment or order. See NRAP 4(a)(1); NRAP 26(c). The divorce decree was filed on June 29, 2022, and written notice of entry was served on appellant on July 6, 2022. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal until August 29, 2022, well after expiration of the 30-day appeal period. NRAP 4(a)(1). An untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court. Healy v. Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft, 103 Nev. 329, 741 P.2d 432 (1987). This court lacks jurisdiction and
