                                                 Appellant,
                             vs.
                THE STATE OF NEVADA,                                                ILE
                                 Respondent.
                                                                                 NOV Olt 2022

                                       ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

                            This is a pro se notice of appeal from an order of the district

                court denying a motion to correct sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court,
                Clark County; Bita Yeager, Judge.
                            This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect.
                Specifically, the district court entered the order denying the motion to

                correct sentence on August 8, 2022.1              Appellant did not file the notice of

                appeal, however, until October 4, 2022, 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). To the extent that appellant's appeal
                is in regard to the order denying a motion for immediate release from prison,
                no statute or court rule provides for an appeal from such an order. Castillo
                v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (stating that court

                      lIt appears that the underlying district court case was dismissed with
                prejudice on March 4, 2010.

                 Accordingly, this court

                             ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.2
