Donald Ray SANDERSON, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a motion for amended judgment of conviction to include jail time credits. Fifth Judicial District Court, Nye County; Robert W. Lane, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered its order denying appellant's motion on February 4, 2019. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until July 22, 2019, well after the expiration of the 30-day appeal period prescribed by NRAP 4(b). “[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 this appeal DISMISSED.1
