People v. Arendtsz
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed from the denial of his Penal Code section 1016.5 motion to vacate his nolo contendere plea for felony sexual battery. Prior to defendant’s plea, former Deputy District Attorney Teresa Sullivan, twice advised him that his plea would result in adverse immigration consequences if he was not a United States citizen. The court concluded that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in ruling that defendant was properly advised of the immigration consequences of his nolo contendere plea. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
