PEOPLE v. AVILA
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.
Nov 21, 1991
Defendant claims ineffective assistance of counsel in that he was not informed of the collateral consequence of deportation that would result from a guilty plea. This contention is without merit (United States v. Campbell, 778 F.2d 764, 767; People v Dor, 132 Misc.2d 568). Counsel does not have the duty to warn a defendant of all collateral consequences. (People v. Towles, 110 A.D.2d 729.) As the plea allocution, as recorded, appears to have been knowing and voluntary, and as defendant's representation appears to have been effective, the judgment should be affirmed.
Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Carro, Rosenberger and Rubin, JJ.
