The State v. Addaquay

Summary

The court reversed the grant of habeas relief because the record did not establish that Addaquay’s conviction made him deportable under the applicable removal provisions. His sentence was below the threshold for an aggravated felony, and he failed to prove that the offense occurred within the required period after his relevant admission. The court also held that counsel’s alleged misinformation about future citizenship or naturalization did not state a viable ineffective-assistance claim under the governing constitutional rule.
