State v. Addaquay

Summary

The court reversed habeas relief because Addaquay failed to prove that his guilty plea made him deportable under the applicable removal provisions. His sentence was below the threshold for an aggravated felony, and he did not show that he committed a qualifying crime of moral turpitude within five years of the relevant admission. The court also held that ineffective-assistance principles requiring advice about clear deportation consequences do not extend, on this record, to advice about future naturalization or citizenship. There were no separate opinions.
