P. v. Oyarzabal CA2/1
In or about 1996, the People charged appellant Daniel Oyarzabal with deliberate premeditated attempted murder with a deadly weapon, which carried a potential sentence of life imprisonment. In 1996, appellant pled guilty to one count of assault with a deadly weapon by means of force likely to cause great bodily injury, and the trial court sentenced him to prison for two years. He asserts that as a result of his plea, he was deported to Mexico in 1999.
In 2016, appellant petitioned the trial court for writ of coram nobis to withdraw his plea on the grounds that his defense counsel at the time of his plea provided ineffective assistance of counsel. We conclude that appellant’s argument is not cognizable in a writ of coram nobis and affirm the trial court’s order denying writ relief.
