LAKETHA CHARTS MOORE, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a motion to correct illegal sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tierra Danielle Jones, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered the order denying the motion on September 8, 2022. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until February 14, 2023, well after the expiration of the 30-day appeal period prescribed by NRAP d(b). Lozada v. State, 110 Nev. 349, 352, 871 P.2d 944, 946 (1994) (explaining that an untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court). Accordingly, this court ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
