John Carl Colletti Attorney General/Carson City
UNPUBLISHED OPINION
John Carl Colletti Attorney General/Carson City
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a judgment of conviction. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Kathleen M. Drakulich, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered the judgment of conviction on September 5, 2023. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until January 24, 2024, well after the expiration of the 30-day appeal period prescribed by 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). This court lacks jurisdiction and orders this appeal dismissed. Given this dismissal, appellant's motion for the appointment of counsel is denied as moot.
It is so ORDERED.

Hon. Kathleen M. Drakulich, District Judge.
