Guardado-Canas (Melvin) v. State
Opinion
omitted)); U.S. v. Bonilla, 637 F.3d 980, 984 (9th Cir. 2011); see also 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) ("Any alien who is convicted of an aggravated felony at any time after admission is deportable."); 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(G) ("The term 'aggravated felony' means. . . a theft offense. . . or burglary offense for which the term of imprisonment [is] at least one year.").' Even assuming that laches does not preclude consideration of Guardado-Canas' motion on the merits, see Hart v. State, 116 Nev. 558, 563-65, 1 P.3d 969, 972-73 (2000) ("[C]onsideration of the equitable doctrine of laches is necessary in determining whether a defendant has shown 'manifest injustice' that would permit withdrawal of a plea after sentencing."), we conclude that he is not entitled to relief because "Padilla does not have retroactive effect." Chaidez v. U.S., No. 11-820, 2013 WL 610201, at 1 (U.S. February 20, 2013). Therefore, we conclude that the district court did not err by denying Guardado-Canas' motion, and we ORDER the juclgmeta-qf the district court AFFIRMED.
