MARCUS JEROME BLACKWELL, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.


ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a purported district court order denying and/or dismissing a motion to correct an illegal sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Ronald J. Israel, Judge.

This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no order denying a motion to correct an illegal sentence was entered on November 15, 2018. To the extent that appellant appeals from the order denying a motion to correct an illegal sentence entered on January 24, 2018, the notice of appeal was untimely filed. "[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.
