Alcivar (Amable) v. State ( 2013 )


Menu:
  • claim based on the equitable doctrine of laches, the district court did not
    abuse its discretion by denying Alcivar's motion because the motion relies
    on the retroactive application of Padilla to his 1999 guilty plea.        See
    Wilson v. State, 
    99 Nev. 362
    , 373, 
    664 P.2d 328
    , 334 (1983) (reviewing
    denial of motion to set aside a guilty plea for an abuse of discretion); Wyatt
    v. State, 
    86 Nev. 294
    , 298, 
    468 P.2d 338
    , 341 (1970) (holding that a correct
    result will not be reversed simply because it is based on the wrong reason).
    Accordingly, we
    ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
