Jones, Jr. (Roy) v. State

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

ROY JOHN JONES, JR., No, 76573 Appellant, vs. FILED THE STATE OF NEVADA,

Respondent. AUG 2 2018 ELIZARETH A. BROWN CLERK OF .!';;UPREME COURT BY 5. DEPUTY CLERK ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from a judgment of conviction. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; William D. Kephart, Judge.

This court's preliminary review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered the judgment of conviction on March 22, 2018. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until July 27, 2018, well after the expiration of the 30-day appeal period prescribed by NRAP 4(b). "[A]n untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court." Lozada v. State, 110 Nev. 349, 352, 871 P.2d 944, 946 (1994). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
