Nicholas Anthony Navarrette, Appellant, v. The State of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEALS
These are pro se appeals from the “Court of appeals order of affirmance, as well as District courts [sic] finding of fact and conclusions of law.” Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tierra Danielle Jones, Judge.
This court's review of these appeals reveals jurisdictional defects. Specifically, no statute or court rule permits an appeal from an order of affirmance of the Court of Appeals. See NRAP 40B(a) (“A decision of the Court of Appeals is a final decision that is not reviewable by the Supreme Court except on petition for review.”); Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 792 P.2d 1133 (1990) (the right to appeal is statutory; where no statute of court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists). To the extent that appellant appeals from the findings of fact, conclusions of law and order entered on July 8, 2019, the notices of appeal were untimely filed. See NRAP 4(b); Lozada v. State, 110 Nev. 349, 871 P.2d 944 (1994) (an untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court). In addition, that order was already appealed in Docket No. 79147-COA. A second duplicate appeal may not be pursued. Accordingly, this court
ORDERS these appeals DISMISSED.
