00-3292-CR State v. Douangmala

Listen to this article

Sisakhone Douangmala appeals an order denying his motion to withdraw his no contest pleas on the ground that he did not understand the risk of deportation that arose from his pleas. In an earlier appeal, this court remanded the matter to the circuit court for a hearing and findings on Douangmala’s understanding of the possibility of deportation at the time he entered pleas to burglary, robbery and false imprisonment charges. The circuit court found that Douangmala’s trial counsel read him the entire plea questionnaire form including the part relating to deportation and was satisfied that he understood the risk of deportation.

The trial court denied the motion to withdraw the no contest pleas and Douangmala appeals that decision.

This opinion will not be published.
