Morente (Silvio) v. State ( 2014 )

  •                 1032, 1039, 
    194 P.3d 1224
    , 1228-29 (2008), and its determination whether
    withdrawal was warranted for an abuse of discretion, Molina v. State, 
    120 Nev. 185
    , 191, 
    87 P.3d 533
    , 538 (2004).
    Even assuming, without deciding, that the doctrine of laches
    did not preclude consideration of Morente's motion, he is not entitled to
    relief because "Padilla does not have retroactive effect." Chaidez v. United
    States, 568 U.S. , 
    133 S. Ct. 1103
    , 1105 (2013). We reject
    Morente's assertion that his case is not final because the instant motion is
    tantamount to a direct appeal as well as his assertion that the
    retroactivity analysis described in Teague v. Lane, 
    489 U.S. 288
     (1989),
    should not apply for the same reason. Moreover, the record does not
    demonstrate that Morente was affirmatively misadvised of the
    immigration consequences of pleading guilty. Accordingly, we conclude
    the district court did not err by denying his motion, and we
    ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
