Indelicato was convicted of firearms offenses in 1985, and this court affirmed
on direct appeal. United States v. Indelicato, 800 F.2d 1482 (9th Cir. 1986) (per
curiam). Indelicato provides no valid reasons for waiting until 2014 to collaterally
attack his convictions. See United States v. Riedl, 496 F.3d 1003, 1004 (9th Cir.
2007). His claims do not rest on newly discovered evidence or a change in the law,
and any mis-advice by his lawyers in the mid-1980s cannot excuse his failure to take
any action for over 25 years.
AFFIRMED.
