ORDER SUMMARILY DENYING MOTION UNDER § 2255

*E-FILED - 8/2/10*

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

 Plaintiffs,

v.

JOSE IGNACIO ORDAZ-CABRERA,

 Defendant.

Case No. CR-09-00258-RMW

(Related to C-10-00633-RMW)

ORDER SUMMARILY DENYING MOTION

UNDER § 2255

On February 10, 2010 Jose Ignacio Ordaz-Cabrera filed a Motion Under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to

Vacate, Set Aside or Correct Sentence by Person in Federal Custody. He was sentenced on August

3, 2009 to 46 months confinement following his plea to illegal re-entry following deportation

pursuant to a plea agreement. He argues that his counsel was ineffective for not arguing certain

adverse consequences of his status as a deportable alien as mitigating factors. However, the court

was fully aware of his status, he received 4 points off his guideline calculation pursuant to Guideline

§ 5K3.1 and his counsel achieved a disposition for him that resulted in a favorable sentence. There

are no facts which suggest that defendant would have received a more favorable sentence if he had

not entered into his plea agreement and had instead argued for a lesser sentence because of his

deportable alien status.

The motion is summarily denied and the clerk may close the file.

DATED: 7/30/10
