Opinion

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a default judgment. Ninth Judicial District Court, Douglas County; Thomas W. Gregory, Judge.

Our review of the notice of appeal and documents on file reveal a jurisdictional defect. Appellant Dennis Coughlin untimely filed the notice of appeal more than 30 days after service of the written notice of entry of the judgment. See NRAP 4(a)(1); NRAP 26(c). Because the notice of appeal is untimely, we lack jurisdiction. See Healy v. Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft, 103 Nev. 329, 331, 741 P.2d 432, 433 (1987) (recognizing that an untimely notice of appeal fails to invoke this courts jurisdiction to entertain an appeal). Coughlins docketing statement and briefing on appeal identify only the default judgment as the subject of his appeal, not the subsequent order denying his NRCP 60(b) motion for relief from the judgment. We note that because Coughlin filed the notice of appeal more than 30 days after notice of entry of the order denying his NRCP 60(b) motion, his notice of appeal would also be untimely as to that order. Accordingly, we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
