                                                                                  CLERK511FNPREME COURT
                                                                                 BY
                                                                                      DEPUTYERX
                                           ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
                                  This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction. Second
                    Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Kathleen M. Drakulich, Judge.
                                  Initial review of the notice of appeal revealed a jurisdictional
                    defect. Specifically, appellant's notice of appeal was untimely. The
                    judgment of conviction was entered December 21, 2021, but appellant's
                    notice of appeal was not filed until January 24, 2022, 4 days after the
                    expiration of the appeal period prescribed by NRAP 4(b). Accordingly, this
                    court directed appellant's counsel to show cause why this appeal should not
                    be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
                                  In response to the order to show cause, appellant's counsel
                    agrees that this appeal should be dismissed. "[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). This court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal and
                                  ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.

                                                                        , J.
