IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

AHMADD GARLAND, No. 71218 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.

FILE DEC 0 9 2016 ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James Todd Russell, Judge.

The notice of appeal was untimely filed. NRAP 4(b); NRS 34.575(1); 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.
