IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

SARA CORINA JONES, No. 69432 vs. Appellant, FILED THE STATE OF NEVADA, FEB 1 8 2016 Respondent. NDEMMJ g ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction and an amended judgment of conviction. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Douglas W. Herndon, Judge.

Our review of this appeal revealed a jurisdictional defect.

Specifically, the notice of appeal appears to be untimely. The amended judgment of conviction was entered on October 29, 2015. However, the notice of appeal was not filed until December 14, 2015, 14 days after the expiration of the 30-day appeal period prescribed by NRAP 4(b)(1)(A). "[kn. untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court." Lozada v. State, 110 Nev. 349, 352, 871 P.2d 944, 946 (1994). Accordingly, we directed appellant's counsel to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant' counsel has responded to our order, and informs this court that she has attempted to contact appellant without success, and knows of no reason the appeal should not be dismissed. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
