DEFENDANT SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED A HEARING ON HIS MOTION TO VACATE HIS CONVICTION, DEFENDANT ALLEGED COUNSEL’S ADVICE ON THE DEPORTATION CONSEQUENCES OF HIS GUILTY PLEA WAS ERRONEOUS 1ST DEPT.

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendant was entitled to a hearing on his motion to vacate his conviction because of counsel’s (alleged) advice on the deportation consequences of his guilty plea:

Defendant alleged in support of his CPL 440.10 motion that counsel at his plea affirmatively misadvised him …  that he “could” be deported, but “maybe” could avoid deportation if he stayed out of further trouble. However, since defendant pleaded guilty to an aggravated felony under federal law, deportation was mandatory irrespective of subsequent good behavior … . Defendant also alleged that, although he was innocent, he accepted what he thought was a favorable plea because it involved a sentence of probation, whereas, had he known that deportation was mandatory, he would have asked counsel to negotiate a disposition with less onerous deportation consequences or would have proceeded to trial, in light of the fact that he has family here.

Defendant raised sufficient questions of fact concerning the effectiveness of counsel’s assistance to warrant a hearing on the content of counsel’s immigration advice, and whether defendant was prejudiced … . People v Candel, 2017 NY Slip Op 05680, 1st Dept 7-13-17
