Parties | The STATE of Ohio, Appellee, v. TRAISH, Appellant. |
Court | Ohio Court of Appeals |
Dionne Almasy, Youngstown Assistant Law Director, for appellee.
Neal Atway, for appellant.
Defendant-appellant, Ahmed Traish, appeals his conviction of domestic violence that was entered upon his no contest plea in the Youngstown Municipal Court. For the following reasons, this case is remanded to the trial court for proceedings consistent with our opinion.
Appellant is a citizen of Jordan who became a lawful resident of the United States on December 24, 1994. He is married to an American citizen, and the couple have two children who are also American citizens. In February 1997, appellant was charged with two first degree misdemeanor counts of domestic violence against his wife. On March 31, 1997, appellant pled no contest to one count, and the court dismissed the second count. Appellant's wife stated that appellant merely slapped her hand and that she called the police out of fear that her husband would abandon her. The court failed to address appellant at the plea hearing.
On April 25, 1997, appellant was sentenced to one hundred eighty days in jail with one hundred fifty days suspended and was fined $200 plus costs. The court ordered appellant to complete twenty-four months of reporting probation and attend marriage counseling and anger control classes. On April 30, 1997, appellant filed this appeal. On May 1, 1997, appellant's sentence was stayed. On May 23, 1997, appellant filed a petition for postconviction relief, or, in the alternative, a motion to withdraw his plea on the ground that the court violated R.C. 2943.031 when it failed to advise him that if he were not a United States citizen, then a conviction could result in his deportation. Appellant's motion cited relevant sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which classify domestic violence offenders as automatically deportable aliens. Accompanying his motion was an affidavit in which appellant swore that he was not and is not a United States citizen and that deportation proceedings have already begun against him.
R.C. 2943.031 provides in pertinent part:
