P. v. Cervantes
In 1989, defendant Armando Cordero Cervantes pleaded no contest to two counts of burglary and possession of burglary tools. That same year, he also pleaded no contest to possession of marijuana for sale. In 2009, he filed petitions under Penal Code section 1016.5 to vacate the two prior judgments alleging that the court had failed to advise him of the possible immigration consequences of his pleas.[1] The court denied the petitions, and defendant appeals from that order. He claims the trial court erroneously concluded that the lack of advisements was harmless.
Court affirm the order.
