The People of the State of New York v. Feoid Haffiz
June 7, 201219 N.Y.3d 883
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's denial of the defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea, holding that the plea was entered voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently, and that Padilla does not require vacatur here because the ineffective‑assistance claim must be raised in a post‑conviction proceeding.
