Harris (Conor) v. State
Nevada Supreme Court · Decided June 13, 2013
Harris (Conor) v. State

Opinion

motion is precluded by laches because there was a 14-year delay in filing his motion, Harris waited three years after he learned of the Finger decision to file his motion, and there was credible testimony that important witnesses and evidence are no longer available because of Harris' delay. We conclude that the district court did not err by finding that laches precluded consideration of Harris' motion. See Hart v. State, 116 Nev. 558, 564-65, 1 P.3d 969, 973 (2000).

Therefore, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
