No. 82837

COREY JOHNSON, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from "the decision of the District Court to deny Petitioners [sic] Writ of Habeas Corpus in Case Number A-20-821716-W."
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the district court entered its order denying appellant's petition on November 25, 2020. The district court served notice of entry of that order on appellant on December 3, 2020. Appellant did not file the notice of appeal, however, until April 26, 2021, 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). Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
