IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

IN THE MATTER OF THE PARENTAL No. 69706 RIGHTS AS TO M.M.; M.M.; H.M. AND Z.M., MINORS.

MANUEL MAGDALENO, FILED Appellant, MAR 0 4 2016 vs. TRACE K. LINDEMAN CLARK COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CLERK BY PREME COURT • FAMILY SERVICES, DEPUTY CLERK Respondent.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is an appeal from an order denying a motion for new trial in an action for termination of parental rights. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; Frank P. Sullivan, Judge.

Appellant is proceeding in pro se.

Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the notice of appeal appears to be untimely filed under NRAP 4(a) because it appears that it was filed more than thirty days after service of written notice of entry of the judgment or order. See NRAP 4(a)(1); NEAP 26(c). An untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court. See Healy v. Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft, 103 Nev. 329, 331, 741 P.2d 432, 433 (1987). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
