298 P.3d 59
Or. Ct. App.2013Background
- Petitioner, a non-U.S. citizen, challenged post-conviction relief denial under ORS 138.530.
- He pleaded guilty to felony failure to appear on Jan 22, 2008, after arrest on related warrants.
- Plea form warned that convictions may lead to deportation for noncitizens.
- Post-conviction court denied relief, citing Padilla and Gonzalez standards as not met.
- Chaidez retroactivity precludes Padilla relief for convictions final before Padilla.
- Court affirms the denial, holding Padilla is not retroactive and Chaidez forecloses relief.
Issues
| Issue | Plaintiff's Argument | Defendant's Argument | Held |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whether Padilla applies and retroactivity governs relief | Petitioner relies on Padilla for deficient advice | Chaidez controls and Padilla not retroactive | Padilla not retroactive per Chaidez; no relief |
