Destiny Denise CHALMERS, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from an order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Douglas Smith, Judge.
Because the notice of appeal appeared to have been untimely filed, this court entered an order directing appellant to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
Appellant and respondent have both responded to our order. Appellant filed a previous timely appeal from the order denying the habeas petition in Docket No. 731.06, Chalmers v. Slate. The court of appeals affirmed the district court's judgment on February 14, 2018. The district court docketed the supreme court clerk's certificate of judgment affirming the order denying the petition on March 19, 2018. Appellant contends this appeal is timely because she filed the notice of appeal within 30 days of the date the district court docketed the supreme court clerk's certificate of judgment. Having considered appellant's arguments, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
