Andre A. BRELAND, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the notice of appeal was untimely filed. The order denying a motion to correct illegal sentence and supporting memorandum was entered on November 16, 2022. However, the notice of appeal was not filed until January 18, 2023, well after the expiration of the 30-day appeal period prescribed by NRAP 4(b). Because an untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court, see Lozada v. State, 110 Nev. 349, 352, 871 P.2d 944, 946 (1994), this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
