Thomas J. COLLMAN, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from “the judgment of conviction by state post-conviction proceedings.” Seventh Judicial District Court, White Pine County; J. Charles Thompson, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals jurisdictional defects. First, appellant's appeal was untimely filed from the judgment of conviction. “[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). Second, appellant has already appealed the notice of entry of amended judgment of conviction and sentence in Docket No. 77522. A second duplicate appeal may not proceed. Lastly, the documents before this court indicate that a postconviction petition has not been filed in district court case number CR-9606033, the case number designated in this notice of appeal. Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
