Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, and Jason Helfant, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee. Before GERSTEN, GODERICH, and WELLS, JJ. PER CURIAM. Evelio Rodriguez-Grave appeals an order dismissing his rule 3.850 motion to withdraw plea and vacate judgment and sentence. That motion, filed October 2000, claims only that Rodriguez-Grave had not been informed at the time that he pled guilty in 1981 to robbery and second-degree murder that he might be subject to deportation as a consequence of this plea. We affirm. In State v. Richardson, 785 So. 2d 585, 588 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001), we concluded that for pre-1989 cases the Florida Supreme Court has allowed a plea to be attacked only if the defendant received positive misadvice consequences of the plea. is, therefore, affirmed. (Fla. 4th DCA 2002)( We of counsel regarding immigration No such attack is made here. The order See Ghanavati v. State, 820 So. 2d 989 agree with the third district [in Richardson] that State v. Ginebra, 511 So. 2d 960, 961 (Fla. 1987) (finding deportation to be a collateral consequence of which the trial court was not required to advise [prior to January 1, 1989]), still controls with respect to pleas entered prior to the change in rule 3.172"); see also Perdomo v.
