Parties' Statement of Issues

  • Appellant

    Whether the district court erred by denying Mr. Munzal’s petition for post-conviction relief.

Summary

Youhana Hakim Munzal appeals from an order denying his application for post-conviction relief.

Munzal pled guilty to the charge of possession of a controlled substance-second offense. Munzal applied for post-conviction relief, arguing he was wrongly charged with a second offense for possessing a controlled substance and he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his attorney did not properly advise him of the immigration consequences of pleading guilty. The district court denied Munzal’s application.

On appeal, Munzal argues he received ineffective assistance of counsel and he should be allowed to withdraw his guilty plea because his attorney did not properly explain the immigration consequences of pleading guilty.
