Head Matter:
Pedro BORREGO, Jr., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 2D11-2245.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
Feb. 10, 2012.
Carl J. DiCampli of Lorenzo & Lorenzo, P.A., Tampa, for Appellant.
No appearance for Appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Pedro Borrego, Jr., appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Because the postconviction court correctly determined that his motion was untimely, we affirm. See Barrios-Cruz v. State, 63 So.3d 868, 873 (Fla. 2d DCA 2011). As in Barrios-Cruz, we hold that Padilla v. Kentucky, - U.S. -, 130 S.Ct. 1473, 176 L.Ed.2d 284 (2010), does not apply retroactively in postconviction proceedings, and we certify to the Florida Supreme Court the following question of great public importance pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.030(a)(2)(A)(v):
SHOULD THE RULING IN Padilla v. Kentucky, - U.S. -, 130 S.Ct. 1473, 176 L.Ed.2d 284 (2010), BE APPLIED RETROACTIVELY IN POSTCONVICTION PROCEEDINGS?
Affirmed; question certified.
CASANUEVA, LaROSE, and MORRIS, JJ., Concur.
