How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that mandatory minimum time to be served before becoming eligible for parolé; as required by statute, did not make parole ineligibility a direct consequence
  • recognizing “there is authority for the proposition that misinforming as opposed to failing to inform a defendant about eligibility for parole may undermine the volun-tariness of the plea”
  • parole is itself a collateral consequence as the courts control neither eligibility, conditions, nor release from parole
  • “The validity of a plea of guilty depends on whether it was made voluntarily and intelligently”
  • claim from pro se motion should have been considered even though it was merely stapled to – and referenced in – the amended motion
  • “parole eligibility is considered to be a ‘collateral consequence’ of a plea, about which counsel has no obligation to inform the defendant”
