P. v. Abdelfattah
Mazen Mosiafa Abdelfattah appeals an order denying his motion to vacate his conviction for assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, 245, subd. (a)(2)) following his guilty plea in 1995. In 2005 he filed a motion to vacate his conviction claiming that he had not been advised of the immigration consequences of his conviction when he pled guilty in 1995. Court conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying his motion. Abdelfattah signed a plea form which contained an advisement about the immigration consequences of his plea which he initialed. On that form he signed a statement under oath that he had discussed all the advisements on the form with his counsel. Court affirm.
