P. v. Hamawi CA4/1
Muhammed Hamawi appeals from a postjudgment order denying his motion under Penal Code section 1473.7 to vacate his conviction for possession of more than 28.5 grams of methamphetamine for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378; Pen. Code § 1203.073, subd. (b)(2)). Hamawi's conviction was the result 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 neither the court nor his trial counsel properly advised him of the immigration consequences of the plea.
We conclude Hamawi has not established either the court or his trial counsel erred in their advisements. We, therefore, affirm the order.
