P. v. Richey
Appellant is an undocumented immigrant who is facing the prospect of deportation to her native country, Mexico. Working on the assumption this prospect arose because she pleaded guilty to a deportable offense, appellant claims she should be allowed to withdraw her plea because her attorney failed to warn her it would result in her being deported. However, the record shows appellant was adequately advised of the consequences of her plea. It also shows she was subject to deportation irrespective of her plea due to her status as an undocumented immigrant. Therefore, the trial court properly denied her motion to withdraw her plea.
