THE STATE OF NEVADA,

FILE Respondent. MAR 1 O 2022 ELIZAREM A. BROWN CLER? NPREME COURT ."•1 BY DEPUTYttarlfr ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a judgment of conviction. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tierra Danielle Jones, Judge.

This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered the judgment of conviction on December 8, 2021. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until February 18, 2022, well after the expiration of the 30-day appeal period. See NRAP 4(b); Lozada v. State, 110 Nev. 349, 352, 871 P.2d 944, 946 (1994) (explaining that an untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
