                                                          ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

                                           This is a pro se appeal from a district court order dismissing a
                  postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District
                  Court, Clark County; Erika D. Ballou, Judge.
                                           This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect.
                  Specifically, the district court entered its order dismissing appellant's
                  petition on December 19, 2021. The district court served notice of entry of
                  that order on appellant on December 20, 2021. However, appellant did not
                  file the notice of appeal until February 3, 2022, well after the expiration of
                  the 30-day appeal period prescribed by NRS 34.575.                                          See 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).
                  Accordingly, this court
                                           ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.

                                                                       1   k
