Tyren Alexander JOHNSON, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This appeal was initiated by the filing of a pro se notice of appeal. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tierra Danielle Jones, Judge.
On December 20, 2017, appellant filed a notice of appeal. The notice of appeal does not specifically identify any judgments of the district court. To the extent that appellant appeals from a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus, review of the district court docket entries indicate that no petition was filed in district court case number C323726. To the extent that appellant appeals from the judgment of conviction entered on August 9, 2017, 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). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
