United States Ninth Circuit

Denial of 28 U.S.C. section 2255 petition for habeas corpus relief from conviction of misdemeanor attempted transportation of illegal aliens is granted and conviction is vacated where the district court erred in failing to hold that defendant's counsel was ineffective in failing to advise defendant that her plea agreement rendered her removal from the US a virtual certainty.
