ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal frorn a district court order denying a postconviction petition and supplemental petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Ninth Judicial District Court, Douglas County; Nathan Tod Young, Judge.

This coures review of this appeal reveals jurisdictional defects.

First, the notice of appeal was untimely filed. The district court entered its order denying appellant's petition on August 20, 2018. The district court served notice of entry of that order on appellant on August 21, 2018.

Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until July 30, 2020, well after the expiration of the 30-day appeal period prescribed by NRS 34.575. "[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). Second,
