U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-3284
U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Arnold and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - habeas. In appeal of the denial of a Section 2255
petition alleging counsel was ineffective for failing to advise Abraham of
the immigration consequences of his guilty plea, the court need not
decide whether Padilla v. Kentucky, 130 S.Ct. 1473 (2010) applies
retroactively on collateral review because, even if it does, Abraham
cannot satisfy Strickland's prejudice prong because the PSR indicated a
likelihood that he would be deported if convicted and he confirmed that
he had read the PSR, had discussed it with his attorney and understood it.
