COURT DISMISSES CASE AFTER GRANTING MOTION TO VACATE CONVICTION UNDER—CALIFORNIA PENAL CODES 1016.5 AND 1473.7 BASED ON THE CLIENT’S ADVERSE—IMMIGRATION CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROM THE PLEA

Sammy was convicted of insurance fraud when he was 21 years old and a Legal Permanent Resident. He received a sentence of probation with restitution. At the time he accepted the guilty plea, Sammy had only been in the United States for a few years after escaping Iran due to the Iranian’s government’s persecution of him and his family based on their religion. Now, at 30 years old and about to start a new family, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Service (ICE) notified him that they were beginning removal proceedings to deport him from the United States based on his prior insurance fraud conviction years qualifying as an aggravated felony under the immigration laws

MR. KHOJAYAN’S CLIENT OBTAINS CASA DIVERSION AVOIDING A CONVICTION AND SENTENCE IN A 10 YEAR MANDATORY MINIMUM DRUG AND RICO CASE — THE ONLY DEFENDANT OUT OF 70 DEFENDANTS TO OBTAIN SUCH A RESULT

A 29 count indictment charged 70 defendants with RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) conspiracy and narcotics trafficking that would otherwise result in a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years in prison for each defendant. Mr. Khojayan’s client was recorded on phone calls and reports of investigation helping arrange narcotics distribution. His client had minor prior criminal history, which although “expunged” still counted under the federal sentencing guidelines.
