Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Criminal Procedure — plea withdrawal — ineffective assistance — immigration consequences
Fernando Ortiz-Mondragon appeals a judgment of conviction for several domestic abuse related charges and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Ortiz-Mondragon argues he is entitled to withdraw his plea because his attorney was ineffective for failing to inform Ortiz-Mondragon that his plea would result in mandatory deportation and permanent inadmissibility to this country. We conclude counsel performed adequately by informing Ortiz-Mondragon that his plea carried the possibility of these consequences. Accordingly, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
