           IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA


 MYKEL TYREL BROWN,                                       No. 82451
                   Appellant,
               vs.                                               FILED
 THE STATE OF NEVADA,
                          Respondent.                            FEB 2 6 2021
                                                                ELIZABETH A. BROWN
                                                              CLERK OF SUPREME COURT
                                                             By       Nhel..,L,Lnotk
                      ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL                      DEPUTY CLERK



              This is a pro se appeal from "writs of Habeas Corpus and a
motion for modification of sentence." Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark
County; Mary Kay Holthus, Judge.
              A review of this appeal reveals jurisdictional defects.
Specifically, the district court entered its order denying appellant's habeas
petition on July 30, 2019. The notice of appeal was filed on February 4,
2021, well beyond the relevant appeal period. See NRCP 6. "[Aln untimely
notice of appeal fails to vest jurisdiction in this court." Lazada v. State, 
110 Nev. 349, 352
, 
871 P.2d 944, 946
 (1994). Additionally, it does not appear
that a motion for modification of sentence was filed in the underlying
district court case. Accordingly, this court
              ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.

      'Appellant has already appealed from the order denying petition for
writ of habeas corpus. See Brown, v. State, Docket No. 79345.
