What is the limitation on a motion to vacate a conviction for sexual assault?

A motion to vacate must be filed within one year from the date the conviction becomes final. 28 U.S.C. 2255(f) (providing that "[a] 1-year period of limitation shall apply to a motion under this section," which will run from, inter alia, the date on which "the judgment of conviction becomes final"). A conviction becomes final once the deadline for filing the notice of appeal has expired. United States v. Gilbert, 807 F.3d 1197, 1199 (9th Cir. 2015) (noting that the sentence "became a final judgment for habeas purposes once the deadline for filing the notice of appeal expired 14 days later"); see also
