Argot v. Superior Court CA4/2
This is a petition for writ of mandate by petitioner Jonatan Josue Navarro Argot after the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of San Bernardino County (Appellate Division) affirmed the trial judge’s order denying his motion to vacate his conviction on the ground that he pled guilty to misdemeanor soliciting prostitution without understanding the immigration consequences of his plea. (Pen. Code, § 1473.7, subd. (a)(1), unlabeled statutory citations refer to this code.) We conclude the trial judge’s decision was supported by substantial evidence but deny the petition for writ of mandate because Navarro Argot had an adequate legal remedy by way of his direct appeal to the Appellate Division.
