In People v. Trantow (1986) 178 Cal.App.3d 842, the defendant argued that, had the trial court known of her alien status and the possibility of deportation, it would not have rendered the judgment it did. The appellate court rejected this argument. It reasoned, "Assuming that the mistake of 'fact' was that Trantow did not know her alien status might result in deportation, it does not necessarily follow that this would have 'prevented' the judgment. Trantow's alien status is a fact irrelevant to her conviction on the two felony charges.. . .. . . Trantow has mistakenly confused facts which would 'prevent' the rendition of judgment with facts which might engender sympathy." ( Id. at pp. 845-846.)
