ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Preliminary review of this appeal revealed a potential jurisdictional defect. The district court entered the judgment of conviction on October 4, 2021. Thus, appellants notice of appeal was due to be filed in the district court by November 3, 2021. See NRAP 4(b)(1)(A) (providing that a notice of appeal must generally “be filed with the district court clerk within 30 days after the entry of the judgment or order being appealed”). However, the notice of appeal was not filed in the district court until November 16, 2021, 13 days after expiration of the 30-day appeal period.
Appellant dated his notice of appeal November 2, 2021. Pursuant to NRAP 4(d), if appellant delivered his notice of appeal to a prison official for mailing on or before November 3, 2021, and utilized the notice-of-appeal log or other system designed for legal mail, his notice of appeal would be deemed timely filed. Because this court could not determine from the documents before it whether the notice of appeal should be deemed timely, this court ordered the attorney general to obtain and transmit to the clerk of this court certified copies of the notice of appeal log maintained at the prison indicating the actual date upon which appellant delivered to a prison official his notice of appeal.
The attorney general has now provided this court with a response, a copy of the notice-of-appeal log, and an affidavit from the law library supervisor at High Desert State Prison. These documents indicate that appellant did not use the notice of appeal log in October or November 2021. Further, the documents indicate that High Desert State Prison does not maintain any other incoming or outgoing mail logs. Accordingly, the November 16, 2021, date controls and appellants notice of appeal was untimely filed and this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal. See Lozada v. State, 110 Nev. 349, 352, 871 P.2d 944, 946 (1994) (“[A]n untimely notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court.”). We therefore
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
