P. v. Bravo CA2/7
Hector Bravo pleaded no contest to second degree burglary of a vehicle in August 2013 and was sentenced to serve 16 months in Los Angeles County Jail. On July 17, 2017 Bravo, representing himself, moved to vacate his conviction pursuant to former Penal Code section 1473.7, subdivision (a)(1), on the ground the conviction was legally invalid due to a prejudicial error damaging his ability to meaningfully understand the adverse immigration consequences of his plea. The superior court denied the motion, finding Bravo did not fall within the class of persons eligible for relief under section 1473.7 because he was “currently incarcerated at the Adelanto Detention Facility of the California Department of Corrections.”
