Lofton (Donte) Vs. State

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

DONTE LOFTON, No. 79557 Appellant, vs.

THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED Respondent.

SEP 2O19 ELI CLE ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL BY DEPUTY CLERK

This is a pro se appeal from a judgment of conviction and an amended judgment of conviction. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Michael Villani, Judge.

This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered the judgment of conviction on June 1, 2018, and the amended judgment of conviction on November 15, 2018. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until September 3, 2019, 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, this court

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
