P. v. Gomez CA4/2
In 1995, defendant and appellant Ricarda Gomez pled guilty to one count of possession for sale of cocaine base. (Health & Saf. Code, former § 11351.5, count 1.) A trial court placed her on formal probation for a period of three years, with 180 days in county jail. On January 1, 2017, Penal Code section 1473.7 went into effect. (Stats. 2016, ch. 739, § 1.) It permits a defendant to challenge a conviction based on a guilty plea where prejudicial error affected the defendant’s ability to understand the immigration consequences of the plea. (Pen. Code, § 1473.7.) In 2018, defendant filed a motion to vacate her conviction under Penal Code sections 1016.5 and 1473.7. The court denied the motion.
On appeal, defendant contends the court erred in denying her motion to vacate her conviction. We affirm.
