MEMORANDUM

TENNEY, District Judge.

Petitioner applies herein for a writ of habeas corpus to examine into his detention for deportation by the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Petitioner is an alien, a native and citizen of Panama, who is held by the Attorney General, through his delegate, the District Director for the New York *493 District Immigration and Naturalization Service, on the authority of Section 242 (c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1252(c), for immediate deportation to Panama. He was admitted to the United States for permanent residence on August 27, 1948. On February 23, 1966 petitioner was convicted on his plea of guilty in the Criminal Court, New York city (Brooklyn) for possession of heroin, in violation of Section 1751 of the New York Penal Law, McKinney’s Consol.Laws, c. 40.

On April 20, 1966 petitioner was taken into custody in deportation proceedings in which it was charged that he was subject to deportation under Section 241(a) (11) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1251(a) (11), in that he was an alien who had been convicted for a violation of a law relating to the possession of narcotic drugs.

On April 26, 1966 he was accorded a hearing in accordance with Section 242 (b) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b), at which he was represented by counsel. In that hearing, it was conceded that he had been convicted for the aforesaid violation of a narcotic law. The sole question raised related to whether he had been naturalized since he came to the United States. It was developed that he had not. At the close of the hearing, the Special Inquiry Officer entered a decision in which he found the relator to be an alien and deportable as charged.

Deportation was ordered to Germany, the country chosen by the relator and alternatively, if Germany would not accept him, to Panama, the country of citizenship, as provided by Section 243(a) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1253(a).

Petitioner was advised of his right to appeal from the decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals, and he reserved the right to do so. Upon his failure to file an appeal within ten days, the order of the Special Inquiry Officer became the final order in his case, 8 C.F.R. 242.20. Pursuant to that order, the District Director is now prepared to deport the relator to Panama, Germany having refused to accept him as a deportee.

There are a number of serious obstacles, both procedural and substantive, to the relief herein sought, and they will be considered seriatim.

Initially, it must be noted that Rule 27(b) of the General Rules of this Court specifically provide that a “writ will not be allowed” unless there was an appeal and affirmance of the deportation order by the Board of Immigration Appeals. The language is mandatory and since there was no appeal herein this alone.would be a valid basis for denial of the relief.

Petitioner concedes in the instant application that he is an alien and that the hearing examiner, based on the record before him, found petitioner deportable. Petitioner, however, contends that the narcotics conviction upon which the deportation order is based is a void and invalid judgment and should be vacated by this Court. After said judgment is vacated, petitioner argues, he will then be entitled to the writ of habeas corpus since his deportation detention will be invalid.

Petitioner, as noted, pleaded guilty (while represented by counsel) to the narcotics charge. He maintains that the plea and conviction are void because he was not advised that as a result of the plea he would be subject to deportation. While he argues in his papers that the plea subjected him to cruel and inhuman punishment (which is clearly a frivolous claim), his attorney more cogently argues that the plea was involuntary and accordingly the conviction should be vitiated.

Petitioner, after the sentence was imposed, did not petition the sentencing Court to withdraw the plea (Section 337, Code of Criminal Procedure), nor did he petition said Court to withdraw the plea in April of 1966 when he realised the consequences of his conviction. See People v. Forlano, 19 A.D.2d 365, 243 N.Y.S.2d 559, 560 (1st Dep’t 1963) and cases therein cited. In addition, he sought no collateral relief in the State courts by way of a writ of error comm nobis.

*494 Accordingly, I seriously question whether this Court can grant a writ and vacate a State judgment, before the State courts have had an opportunity to review its propriety (see 28 U.S.C. § 2254; compare Petition of Thompson, 301 F.2d 659, 660 (3d Cir. 1962); United States ex rel. Drew v. Myers, 327 F.2d 174 (3d Cir. 1964); United States ex rel. Kloiber v. Myers, 237 F.Supp. 682 (E.D.Pa.1965)) especially where as here there is no reason proffered for circumventing the normal State processes.

While the Service argues that even assuming exhaustion of State remedies, this Court is bound by the record presented to the hearing examiner, I do not agree. I believe that this Court can, in a proper case, look into the validity of a State court conviction upon which a deportation order is predicated. See, e. g., United States ex rel. Durante v. Holton, 228 F.2d 827 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, 351 U.S. 963, 76 S.Ct. 1027, 100 L.Ed. 1484 (1956); United States ex rel. Marino v. Holton, 227 F.2d 886 (7th Cir. 1955), cert. denied, 350 U.S. 1006, 76 S.Ct. 650, 100 L.Ed. 868 (1956). To foreclose inquiry is to foreclose relief and I believe that in the proper case I have both the power of inquiry and of relief.

To have the power is one thing, however, and to use it is yet another.

It must be borne in mind that it is not every claimed error of State procedure which rises to the level of constitutional deprivation which gives this Court power to vacate a State conviction and judgment.

Petitioner does not contend that he did not know of the deportation consequences, or that he was not informed by his attorney of them. Nor does he assert that the Judge in any way misled him or misrepresented anything to him. Indeed, his only attack is that by reason of the failure of the Judge to inform him that he would be subject to deportation his plea is involuntary and constitutionally tainted.

In United States ex rel. Durante v. Holton, supra, a similar claim was made and disposed of as follows:

“In his brief in this court, Durante admits that in the Illinois court he was represented by counsel of his choice. He there pleaded guilty to burglary. He does not contend that, before he entered that plea, the trial judge failed to inform him of the possible consequences of such a plea, insofar as the possible punishment to be meted out by the Illinois court might be. He makes instead the rather remarkable contention that, while he was represented by his own attorney, it was the duty of the judge to tell Durante that a consequence of any sentence that the court might impose upon a plea of guilty ‘would or might be deportation from’ the United States. There is no showing that the Illinois judge even knew that Durante was not a citizen of this country. Even if he had known it, there was no duty upon the court to advise Durante in regard to the possibility of deportation.” 228 F.2d at 830.

Moreover, even in this Court, where it is mandated that the full range of consequences be set out (see Amended Rule 11 and Advisory Committee notes; see generally, Annot. 97 A.L.R.2d 549 (1964)) it seems onerous and absurd to expect a judge to explain to each and every defendant who pleads guilty the full range of collateral consequences of his plea and, indeed, to anticipate what those collateral consequences are. Nothing more should be expected of the State court. Thus, in any event, the writ must fail on its merits.

Accordingly, for all of the reasons hereinbefore set forth, the within writ is dismissed.

So ordered.
