Joseph CUSHMAN, Appellant, v. Timothy ATKINS; Laughlin Justice Court; Cliff Holder; and Kevin Hanratty, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order dismissing a complaint. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Rob Bare, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. It appears the notice of appeal was untimely filed. Notice of entry of the order granting the motion to dismiss was served on August 14, 2019. However, appellant did not file the notice of appeal in the district court until October 14, 2019, well after the 30-day appeal period provided in NRAP 4(a)(1). An untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court. See Healy v. Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft, 103 Nev. 329, 741 P.2d 432 (1987). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
