Jones (Sara) v. State ( 2016 )

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
SARA CORINA JONES, No. 69432
vs.
Appellant,
FILED
THE STATE OF NEVADA, FEB 1 8 2016
Respondent. NDEMMJ
g
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction and an
amended judgment of conviction. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark
County; Douglas W. Herndon, Judge.
Our review of this appeal revealed a jurisdictional defect.
Specifically, the notice of appeal appears to be untimely. The amended
judgment of conviction was entered on October 29, 2015. However, the
notice of appeal was not filed until December 14, 2015, 14 days after the
expiration of the 30-day appeal period prescribed by NRAP 4(b)(1)(A).
"[kn. 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 directed appellant's counsel to show cause why this appeal should not
be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant' counsel has responded to
our order, and informs this court that she has attempted to contact
appellant without success, and knows of no reason the appeal should not
be dismissed. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
