Sanders v. United States of America
Filing 8
ORDER endorsed on doc.# 7 : Motion denied. As explained in this Court's prior decision, at the time of petitioner's guilty plea, there WAS a chance he would face a term of 15 years to life in prison, so neither counsel nor the Magistrate J udge misadvised him by telling him that. It was only after he pled guilty that the Second Circuit determined that his prior crime did not qualify for a 15 year to life sentence. Because, by petitioner's own description, counsel advised him precisely in accordance with his exposure at the time he pled guilty, there could be no ineffective assistance of counsel. SO ORDERED. (Ordered by Judge Brian M. Cogan, on 1/4/2010) C/mailed. (Latka-Mucha, Wieslawa)
