DEFENDANT NOT INFORMED OF DEPORTATION CONSEQUENCES OF HIS PLEA, MOTION TO VACATE CONVICTION FOR INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED.

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendant’s motion to vacate his conviction because he was not informed his guilty plea would result in deportation should have been granted on “ineffective assistance” grounds. Defendant did not perfect an appeal. However the motion to vacate was a valid vehicle because it depended in part on non-record matters:

Since the defendant’s claim that he was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel involves a mixed claim that depends, in part, upon matter that would not appear on the record had there been a direct appeal from the judgment, his claims were properly presented in a motion pursuant to CPL 440.10 … .

Under the circumstances of this case, we find that the defendant established that he was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel, in that there was no “strategic reason” … for his attorney’s failure to advocate for a sentence that would result in the same overall aggregate prison time for the defendant, but which would have resulted in no mandatory immigration consequences … . People v Moore, 2016 NY Slip Op 05509, 2nd Dept 7-13-16
