P. v. Saldana CA4/1
Victor Hugo Saldana appeals from a postjudgment order denying his motion under Penal Code section 1473.7 to vacate his conviction for transportation of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11379, subd. (a); hereafter § 11379(a)) for other than personal use (Pen. Code, § 1210, subd. (a)). Saldana's conviction was the product of a guilty plea, and he contends the trial court abused its discretion in denying his motion to vacate the conviction because he established by a preponderance of the evidence his trial counsel had not adequately advised him of the adverse immigration consequences of the plea.
We conclude Saldana has not established either that his counsel misadvised him or that any incorrect advice prejudiced him. We, therefore, affirm the order.
