Opinion

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

The challenged district court order was filed on December 6, 2021. Written notice of entry was served on appellant electronically on December 6, 2021; therefore, the notice of appeal was due by January 5, 2021. See NRCP 6. Appellant filed the notice of appeal on January 11, 2022, 6 days after the expiration of the 30 days provided by NRAP 4(a)(1). Respondent filed a motion to dismiss the appeal as untimely, and the parties briefed the jurisdictional issue.

Because the parties raised factual discrepancies regarding whether the notice of entry had been served at the correct e-mail address for appellants counsel, this court remanded this appeal to the district court for the limited purpose of determining the factual dispute. See Zugel by Zugel v. Miller, 99 Nev. 100, 100, 659 P.2d 296, 297 (1983). The district court has transmitted its order to this court and has concluded that written notice of entry of the order appealed from was served on appellants counsel at his “valid and proper” e-mail address that was to be utilized for the purposes of e-service. Further, the district court found that appellants counsel conceded that he was properly served by mail and e-mail. Accordingly, the notice of appeal was untimely filed. An untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court. Healy v. Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft, 103 Nev. 329, 741 P.2d 432 (1987). This court lacks jurisdiction, and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
