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.
