SANTIEL CHAVEZ, Appellant, v. BRIAN WILLIAMS, WARDEN, Respondent.


ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a single district court order denying postconviction petitions for writs of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Linda Marie Bell, Judge.

The order was only entered in district court case number A-17-764429-W.

This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered its order denying appellant's petitions on April 19, 2018. The district court served notice of entry of that order on appellant on April 25, 2018. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until June 26, 2018, well after the expiration of the thirty-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). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
