State v. Garcia

In State v. Garcia, 571 So. 2d 38 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990), the third district reached the same result in a case where a defendant had sought to challenge, through a petition for a writ of error coram nobis, a 14-year-old plea-based conviction on grounds that the plea had not been knowingly and intelligently entered because neither defense counsel nor the trial court had advised the defendant prior to the entry of his plea of all the possible collateral consequences of the plea. See id. at 38-39. The court in Garcia held that the allegations contained in the defendant's petition in that case had shown no error of fact which could entitle the defendant to coram nobis relief. See id. at 39.
