GREENE v. STATE (2020)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal from a district court order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jennifer P. Togliatti, Judge.

Because it appeared from this court’s initial review that the notice of appeal was untimely filed, this court entered an order directing appellant’s counsel to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. In her response, appellant’s counsel states that her excusable neglect in filing the notice of appeal out of time should prevent dismissal of this appeal.¹ This court may not extend the time to file a notice of appeal. NRAP 26(b)(1)(A). “[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 lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
