IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

BENJAMIN BLACKSMITH, No. 71174 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED Respondent.

OCT 20 2016 ELIZABETH A. BROWN CLERK OF UPREME COURT BY S• DEPUTY CLERK ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is an appeal from an amended judgment of conviction.

Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Stefany Miley, Judge.

The notice of appeal was untimely filed. NRAP 4(b); NRAP 26(a); NRAP 26(c). Because an untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court, Lozada v. State, 110 Nev. 349, 352, 871 P.2d 944, 946 (1994), we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
