P. v. Denys
Defendant Joaquin Gustavo Denys appeals from the trial court’s order denying his motion to vacate judgment. In 1999, defendant pleaded nolo contendere to two counts of possession for sale of marijuana (Health & Saf. Code, § 11359) and one count of possession for sale of methamphetamine (id. § 11378). Defendant argues that he was not sufficiently advised of the immigration consequences of his plea pursuant to Penal Code section 1016.5.[1] For the reasons set forth below, we find that the trial court that took defendant’s plea adequately and substantially complied with the requirements of section 1016.5, and we affirm the judgment.
