IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

CHRISTOPHER CLAY, No. 71610 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.

FILE DEC 1 6 2016

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from a judgment of conviction. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Carolyn Ellsworth, 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.
