Romero v. State , 2013 Fla. App. LEXIS 2250 ( 2013 )

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s summary denial of appellant’s motion for postconviction relief. The record conclusively refutes appellant’s claim that she pleaded unaware that she would be deported.¹

During the plea colloquy, the following transpired:

COURT: Are you a United States citizen?

THE DEFENDANT: No.

COURT: Do you understand that this plea will subject you to deportation?

THE DEFENDANT: Yes.

COURT: Knowing that, do you still want to plead.

THE DEFENDANT: No contest.

COURT: My question is, knowing that by pleading you are going to be deported do you still want to plead?

THE DEFENDANT: Yes.

Appellant was clearly aware that her plea in this case would result in her deportation. The Padilla claim is without merit.

Affirmed.

MAY, C.J., GERBER and CONNER, JJ., concur.
