Post-Conviction Relief
A sure way of avoiding deportation of a criminal conviction is to return to the criminal court where you were convicted to “vacate” the conviction. This is known as “post-conviction relief.”
Any person convicted of a cycling under the influence crime may, which applies to post-conviction relief, may file with the criminal division manager's office of the county in which the conviction took place a petition for post-conviction relief captioned in the action in which the conviction was entered. A petition for post-conviction relief may be approved if based upon any of the following information:
(a) A lot of denial in the conviction proceedings of defendant's rights under the Constitution of the United States or the Constitution or laws of your own State;
(b) Lack of jurisdiction of the court to impose the judgment sent upon defendant's conviction;
(c) Imposition of sentence more than or otherwise not according to the sentence authorized by law.
(d) Any ground previously available as a basis for collateral attack upon a conviction by habeas corpus or any other common-law or legal remedy.
Except if otherwise wanted by the Constitution in certain states, a petition according to post-conviction relief is the only means of challenging a judgment made upon conviction of a crime, besides a pardon. It is not, yet, a substitute for appeal from conviction or for motion incident to the proceedings in the trial court, and may not be filed while such appellate check or motion is available.
