From: Stephen Binhak [mailto:[email protected]] S., Thanks for your call just now. You asked about what happened to Gonzalo's case in the 3rd DCA. As outlined below, we tried to get Gonzalo's conviction vacated in the state court system because of his initial lawyer's ineffective assistance of counsel. This effort failed because a motion for post conviction relief must be filed within 2 years of the conviction. For a brief period, it looked as though, that period could be extended for Gonzalo because of the facts of his case, but the Florida Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court have foreclosed that argument. On March 26, 2012, Gonzalo filed a motion for post conviction relief in the Miami-Dade Circuit Court. Essentially, Morales argued that he did not make a knowing and voluntary guilty plea because his lawyer and the Court did not advise him of the immigration consequences of his plea. This argument was based on the case Padilla v. Kentucky, 130 S. Ct. 1473 (2010). The biggest hurdle on this motion was that his conviction was in 1995, and a petition for post conviction relief must be filed within 2 years of the conviction. Morales argued that Padilla should be applied retroactively and therefore his petition was timely. At the time, the Florida Supreme Court was considering whether Padilla was retroactive- Hernandez v. State, 61 So. 3d 1144 (Fla. 3d DCA 2011). Based on these circumstances, we asked the trial court to stay the case until the Supreme Court ruled. Initially the judge held the case in abeyance. On May 24, 2012, she denied the motion as time barred. We file a notice of appeal in the 3rd DCA on June 15, 2012. The Court affirmed the trial court in a per curiam opinion on August 8, 2012. We filed a motion for rehearing on August 20, 2012 to get the case certified to the Supreme Court. The Court denied that motion on September 18, 2012. Subsequently, the Florida Supreme Court (Hernandez v. State, SC11-941 (2012)) and the United States Supreme Court (Cahidez v. United States, 133 S. Ct. 1103 (2013)) held that Padilla is not retroactive. As a result, Gonzalo's motion to vacate was late (it needed to be filed by 1997). In short, Gonzalo tried to get his conviction vacated through the state court process because of ineffective assistance of counsel. There was a chance that because of the facts of Gonzalo's case, he could file the petition beyond the normal 2 year deadline. The Florida Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court have now ruled that the normal deadline applies.
