ORDER DISMISSING APPEALS
These are pro se appeals from a single district court order denying postconviction petitions for writs of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Linda Marie Bell, Judge.
This court's review of these appeals reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered its order denying appellant's petitions on April 4, 2018. The district court served notice of entry of that order on appellant on April 12, 2018. Appellant did not file the notices of appeal, however, until February 14, 2019, well after the expiration of the 30-day appeal period prescribed by NRS 34.575. “[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, this court
ORDERS these appeals DISMISSED.
