Frederick Omoyuma SILVER, Appellant, v. Candice Katie TOWNER, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from an order denying appellant's “motion to set aside order, judgment, and/or default.” Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; T. Arthur Ritchie, Jr., Judge.
Review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the notice of appeal was filed more than 30 days after service of written notice of entry of the order appealed from. See NRAP 4(a)(1); NRAP 26(c). The order was entered on May 15, 2020, and written notice of entry was served on May 19, 2020. The notice of appeal was not filed until July 16, 2020, well after the expiration of the 30-day time period established in NRAP 4(a). An untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court. Healy v. Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft, 103 Nev. 329, 741 P.2d 432 (1987). Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
