IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

DOUGLAS PIPER, No. 73867 Appellant, vs. WAL-MART, INC., FILED Respondent. SEP 1 8 2017 ELIZABETH A. BROWN CLERlipt SUPREME COURT BY DEPUTY te.)- CCIlLti ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from an order dismissing appellant's complaint for damages. Ninth Judicial District Court, Douglas County; Thomas W. Gregory, Judge.

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); NRAP 26(c). The district court filed its order on June 27, 2017. Counsel for respondent served appellant with written notice of entry by mail on June 30, 2017. Appellant filed the notice of appeal on August 17, 2017, after expiration of the 30-day deadline provided by NRAP 4(a)(1). The appeal is therefore untimely, and this court lacks jurisdiction. We ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
