DEFENDANT DID NOT RECEIVE EFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL; COUNSEL SAID A GUILTY PLEA MAY RESULT IN DEPORTATION WHEN DEPORTATION WAS MANDATORY (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department determined defendant did not receive effective assistance of counsel because he was told pleading guilty may result in deportation when deportation was mandatory:

The existing record sufficiently demonstrates that defendant was deprived of effective assistance of counsel (see Padilla v Kentucky, 559 US 356, 369, 374 [2010]) when his attorney failed to advise him that his guilty plea to a drug-related felony would result in mandatory deportation, and merely stated that “this may and probably will affect his immigration status” … . The appeal is held in abeyance to afford defendant 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. People v Acosta, 2022 NY Slip Op 00737, First Dept 2-3-22
