Joshua Manuel CHAVIRA, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
Joshua Manuel Chavira, Appellant, v. The State of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEALS
These are pro se appeals from an amended judgment of conviction and a judgment of conviction. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jerry A. Wiese, Judge; Carolyn Ellsworth, Judge.
This court’s review of these appeals reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered the amended judgment of conviction on May 28, 2019, and the judgment of conviction on April 23, 2019. Appellant did not file the notices of appeal, however, until January 13, 2020, 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 lacks jurisdiction to consider these appeals, and
ORDERS these appeals DISMISSED.
