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. _etu ( ait J. Pickering ify J. Parragairre , iil+/L: z"s J.
