PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Barrios–Cruz v. State, 63 So.3d 868 (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.
