DEFENDANT WAS TOLD MERELY THAT DEPORTATION WAS A PROBABILITY WHEN IT WAS MANDATORY, HE IS ENTITLED TO MOVE TO VACATE HIS GUILTY PLEA ON INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE GROUNDS (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department determined that defendant should be given the opportunity to move to vacate his guilty plea on ineffective assistance grounds. Although deportation was mandatory, defendant was told only that he may be deported:

Defendant was deprived of effective assistance of counsel when his counsel failed to advise him that his guilty plea to an aggravated felony would result in mandatory deportation, and instead merely advised him that his plea would have “immigration consequences,” would “impact his ability to stay in the country” and “will probably very well end up with [defendant] being deported from this country” … .

Defendant should be afforded the opportunity to move to vacate his plea upon a showing that there is a reasonable probability that he would not have pleaded guilty had he been made aware of the deportation consequences of his plea … , and we hold this appeal in abeyance for that purpose. People v Johnson, 2018 NY Slip Op 07072, First Dept 10-23-18
