People v. Landaverde
Annotate this CaseThe Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's denial of defendant's motion to vacate his 1998 plea of guilty to committing a lewd act with a child under the age of 14 in violation of Penal Code section 288, subdivision (a). The court held that section 1473.7 provided a procedural vehicle through which defendant could litigate the validity of his plea; defendant's counsel's failure to advise him of the immigration consequences of his plea did not constitute deficient professional performance under the then contemporary standard; and, defendant has failed to demonstrate that he suffered any legally cognizable prejudice from the alleged deficient professional performance.
