DEFENDANT ENTITLED TO DEMONSTRATE SHE WOULD NOT HAVE PLED GUILTY HAD SHE BEEN INFORMED OF THE DEPORTATION CONSEQUENCES, THE ISSUE SURVIVES THE WAIVER OF APPEAL AND THE FAILURE TO PRESERVE (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department determined that defendant was entitled to attempt to demonstrate she would not have pled guilty had she been informed of the deportation consequence of her plea, even though the issue had not been preserved and she had waived her right to appeal:

… [D]efendant, a noncitizen, contends that her felony guilty plea was not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered because County Court failed to advise her of the potential deportation consequences of such a plea, as required by People v Peque (22 NY3d 168 …) . As a preliminary matter, we note that defendant’s challenge to the voluntariness of her plea survives her waiver of the right to appeal… . Furthermore, contrary to the People’s contention, preservation was not required inasmuch as the record bears no indication that defendant knew about the possibility of deportation … . With respect to defendant’s substantive contention, the People correctly concede that the court did not properly advise defendant of the deportation consequences of her plea. We therefore hold the case, reserve decision and remit the matter to County Court to afford defendant an opportunity to move to vacate her plea based upon a showing that “there is a reasonable probability’ that she would not have pleaded guilty had she known that she faced the risk of being deported as a result of the plea” … . People v Roman, 2018 NY Slip Op 03048, Fourth Dept 4-27-18
