BRIAN S. STEWART, Defendant-Appellant." ], "opinions": [ { "text": "JUSTICE COOK\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nIn April 2006, defendant, Brian S. Stewart, pleaded guilty to aggravated discharge of a firearm (720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.2(a)(1) (West 2006)). Pursuant to a negotiated plea, defendant was sentenced to six years in prison. In July 2006, defendant then filed a pro se postconviction petition alleging that before he pleaded, guilty-plea counsel erroneously informed him regarding applicable portions of the truth-in-sentencing law (730 ILCS 5/3 \u2014 6\u20143(a)(2)(iii), (a)(2)(iv) (West 2006)); trial counsel stated that defendant was eligible to acquire day-for-day good-conduct credit and might only have to serve 50% of his sentence while defendant was statutorily required to serve at least 85% of his sentence. The trial court appointed postconviction counsel, who submitted an amended petition. The State filed a motion to dismiss. After a hearing on the petition and the State\u2019s motion, the court denied the petition. Defendant appeals. We reverse and remand.\nI. BACKGROUND\nOn March 21, 2006, defendant was charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm for knowingly discharging a firearm into a building when he reasonably should have known that the building was occupied. Defendant was also charged with reckless discharge of a firearm (720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.5 (West 2006)) for endangering the safety of Ryan Head and Britta Parker by discharging a firearm and striking their residence with several bullets.\nOn April 20, 2006, defendant pleaded guilty to aggravated discharge of a firearm in exchange for a sentence of six years in prison and dismissal of the reckless-discharge-of-a-firearm charge.\nOn July 13, 2006, defendant filed a pro se postconviction petition alleging that when he pleaded guilty he thought he would be given day-for-day credit and might only have to serve 50% of his sentence. After the 30-day period allowed for filing to withdraw his plea, the Department of Corrections (DOC) informed defendant that he must serve at least 85% of his sentence. Attached to defendant\u2019s petition was a letter from his attorney addressed to defendant wherein the attorney stated he was not aware that defendant would have to serve 85% of his sentence. The letter stated that the attorney understood at the time of the plea that day-for-day applied because the trial court did not find any great bodily harm occurred. Counsel was not aware that the statute had been amended and an automatic 85% rule applied to all aggravated-discharge-of-a-firearm offenses even absent a great-bodily-harm finding.\nBased on the petition, the trial court appointed defendant new counsel to represent him during the postconviction proceedings. On August 10, 2006, counsel filed an amended postconviction petition alleging defendant was not admonished that he was to serve 85% and the court did not find that the victim suffered great bodily harm. The petition did not explicitly include a statement concerning the ineffectiveness of defendant\u2019s guilty-plea counsel for improperly advising defendant that he would serve 50% of his sentence. Postconviction counsel did not file a Rule 651(c) (134 Ill. 2d R. 651(c)) certificate.\nOn September 21, 2006, the State filed a motion to dismiss the petition claiming that the petition did not contain the gist of a constitutional claim as the truth-in-sentencing law was a collateral consequence of the guilty plea, beyond the control of the trial court, and not a direct consequence of the guilty plea.\nAlso on September 21, 2006, the trial court held a hearing on the postconviction petition and the State\u2019s motion to dismiss it. At the hearing, defendant\u2019s counsel argued that (1) defendant and his guilty-plea attorney were under a mistaken belief that he only had to serve 50% of his sentence and (2) defendant accepted the plea under that mistaken belief. The trial court acknowledged the letter from defendant\u2019s guilty-plea counsel. The court then pointed to the section in the Unified Code of Corrections that states that a conviction for aggravated discharge of a firearm resulted in a sentence of 85% if the court entered a finding of great bodily harm to the victim and the next section that stated that a conviction for aggravated discharge of a firearm always results in a sentence of 85% (730 ILCS 5/3 \u2014 6\u2014 3(a)(2)(iii), (a)(2)(iv) (West 2006)). The court stated that \u201cwhen admonishing a defendant to the potential penalties, it is not required that the defendant be told that it\u2019s 85 percent *** the court need only admonish the defendant as to the potential penalties.\u201d The court acknowledged that the statute was confusing but found it was up to DOC to determine which section to apply. The court denied defendant\u2019s petition. This appeal followed.\nII. ANALYSIS\nDefendant argues that his petition should be remanded to the trial court for a third-stage evidentiary hearing under the Post-Conviction Hearing Act (Act) (725 ILCS 5/122 \u2014 1 through 122 \u2014 8 (West 2006)). According to defendant, he was denied his right to a reasonable level of assistance during postconviction proceedings because his appointed counsel filed only a cursory, unsupported amended petition and failed to file a Rule 651(c) certificate. Also, defendant was entitled to an evidentiary hearing because the application of the truth-in-sentencing provision was a direct consequence of his guilty plea and the trial court should have admonished him concerning that provision before accepting his plea. Even if the application of the provision was a collateral consequence, guilty-plea counsel\u2019s erroneous advice made counsel ineffective and rendered defendant\u2019s plea involuntary. The State maintains that the court properly dismissed the petition because defendant did not demonstrate a constitutional violation to warrant an evidentiary hearing.\nWe agree that the trial court need not admonish defendant concerning a collateral consequence of his guilty plea. For the following reasons though, we hold that when defense counsel affirmatively misrepresents to the defendant the collateral consequences of his guilty plea and the defendant pleads guilty based on the affirmative misrepresentations, the defendant alleges a constitutional violation that warrants an evidentiary hearing under the Act.\nUnder the Act (725 ILCS 5/122 \u2014 1 through 122 \u2014 8 (West 2006)), the trial court follows a three-stage process to determine whether a defendant suffered a substantial violation of constitutional rights at trial, and if so, what remedy is appropriate. See People v. Edwards, 197 Ill. 2d 239, 243-44, 757 N.E.2d 442, 445 (2001). In the first stage, the trial court determines, without input from the State, whether a petition is frivolous or patently without merit. 725 ILCS 5/122\u2014 2.1(a)(2) (2006 West). If the petition states the gist of a claim, the court advances it to the second stage where counsel may be appointed for the petitioner, appointed counsel may file an amended petition, and the State may file responsive pleadings. 725 ILCS 5/122 \u2014 2.1(a)(2), 122 \u2014 4, 122 \u2014 5 (West 2006); see also Edwards, 197 Ill. 2d at 245-46, 757 N.E.2d at 446. In the second stage, the court determines whether defendant\u2019s petition and documentation \u201cmake a substantial showing of a constitutional violation.\u201d Edwards, 197 Ill. 2d at 246, 757 N.E.2d at 446. If defendant has made a substantial showing of a constitutional violation, the petition advances to the third stage, at which point the court holds an evidentiary hearing. Edwards, 197 Ill. 2d at 246, 757 N.E.2d at 446, citing 725 ILCS 5/122 \u2014 6 (West 1998).\nIn this case, defendant\u2019s petition was dismissed during the second stage without an evidentiary hearing. We review such dismissals de novo. People v. Coleman, 183 Ill. 2d 366, 388-89, 701 N.E.2d 1063, 1075 (1998). \u201cThe question raised in an appeal from an order dismissing a post[ Iconviction petition is whether the allegations in the petition, liberally construed and taken as true, are sufficient to invoke relief under the Act.\u201d Coleman, 183 Ill. 2d at 388, 701 N.E.2d at 1075. A petitioner is not entitled to an evidentiary hearing unless he has made a substantial showing, based on the record and supporting affidavits, that his constitutional rights were violated. People v. Erickson, 183 Ill. 2d 213, 222, 700 N.E.2d 1027, 1032 (1998).\nDefendant claims his postconviction counsel was ineffective for failing to clearly assert that his guilty-plea counsel was ineffective when he gave defendant erroneous legal advice. Defendant then claims that despite postconviction counsel\u2019s ineffectiveness, the trial court should have advanced his petition to the third stage, an evidentiary hearing, to determine the exact nature of the legal advice given and the impact of that advice on defendant\u2019s decision to plead guilty. The underlying contention in both of these claims is that defendant\u2019s guilty plea was involuntary because his guilty-plea counsel was ineffective when he misinformed defendant as to the application of the truth-in-sentencing law; namely, whether he was eligible for day-for-day good-conduct credit or required to serve at least 85% of his sentence.\nThe State maintains that the misinformation did not render guilty-plea counsel ineffective or the plea involuntary because the advice concerned a collateral consequence of defendant\u2019s sentence. Illinois courts have recognized that the impact of counsel\u2019s advice regarding a guilty plea may depend on whether the advice involved a direct consequence of the guilty plea or a collateral consequence. See People v. Frison, 365 Ill. App. 3d 932, 934, 851 N.E.2d 890, 892-93 (2006). \u201cDirect consequences are those that are definite, immediate, and largely automatic in their effect upon a defendant\u2019s punishment.\u201d Frison, 365 Ill. App. 3d at 934, 851 N.E.2d at 893; see also People v. Blackburn, 46 Ill. App. 3d 213, 215, 360 N.E.2d 1159, 1160 (1977) (the mandatory parole term that attaches to a defendant\u2019s sentence is a direct consequence of a plea of guilty). Collateral consequences are things beyond the court\u2019s control and do not relate to the length of the sentence imposed. Frison, 365 Ill. App. 3d at 934, 851 N.E.2d at 893; see also People v. Williams, 188 Ill. 2d 365, 372, 721 N.E.2d 539, 544 (1999) (including as collateral consequences the following: \u201c \u2018 \u201closs of public or private employment, effect on immigration status, voting rights, possible auto license suspension, possible dishonorable discharge from the military, or anything else.\u201d \u2019 (Emphasis added.) [Citation.]\u201d); In re Detention of Lindsay, 333 Ill. App. 3d 474, 477, 776 N.E.2d 304, 306 (2002) (the possibility of commitment under the Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act is a collateral consequence).\nAs defendant\u2019s claim relates to DOC\u2019s discretion in awarding defendant good-conduct credit, the advice concerned a collateral consequence of defendant\u2019s sentence. The misinformation did not affect the sentence imposed and DOC ultimately has discretion as to whether defendant will be awarded any credit. See Frison, 365 Ill. App. 3d at 934, 851 N.E.2d at 893 (ruling counsel\u2019s advice regarding good-conduct credit under the truth-in-sentencing law is a collateral consequence as the truth-in-sentencing law may affect the sentence defendant ultimately serves but does not affect the sentence imposed by the trial court and the law\u2019s application is not definite, immediate, or automatic).\nDefendant argues, though, that even if the advice concerning the truth-in-sentencing law is considered a collateral consequence of his sentence, he should be allowed to withdraw his plea because his attorney did more than passively refuse to instruct him. Defendant claims his attorney actively misinformed him that he was eligible for more good-conduct credit than that for which he was statutorily eligible. Believing he might only have to serve three years, defendant claimed he decided to plead guilty. Defendant argues his claim should be advanced to the third stage to present evidence that he only pleaded guilty because of his attorney\u2019s explicit wrong advice and he would not have pleaded guilty had it not been for this bad information.\nThe Illinois Supreme Court, in People v. Correa, 108 Ill. 2d 541, 485 N.E.2d 307 (1985), held that defense counsel\u2019s incorrect advice on a collateral consequence of defendant\u2019s plea fell below the constitutionally required range of competence and rendered defendant\u2019s guilty plea involuntary. Six years later the Illinois Supreme Court in People v. Huante, 143 Ill. 2d 61, 571 N.E.2d 736 (1991), held that counsel\u2019s failure to advise defendant of a collateral consequence of defendant\u2019s guilty plea did not fall below the constitutionally required range of competence and did not render defendant\u2019s guilty plea involuntary. In Huante, the court acknowledged Correa and acknowledged that Huante raised a different question, \u201cwhether \u2018the passive conduct of counsel in failing to discuss with a defendant the collateral consequences of a guilty plea\u2019 constituted ineffective assistance of counsel.\u201d Huante, 143 Ill. 2d at 68, 571 N.E.2d at 739-40, quoting Correa, 108 Ill. 2d at 551, 485 N.E.2d at 311. The court in Huante explicitly overruled some appellate court decisions that held defense counsel\u2019s failure to advise the defendant regarding collateral consequences amounted to ineffective assistance of counsel and rendered the guilty plea involuntary. Huante, 143 Ill. 2d at 74, 571 N.E.2d at 742. The court did not, however, state that it overruled Correa or any other case wherein defense counsel actively misinformed the defendant.\nIn 1997, the Illinois First District Appellate Court held in People v. Maury, 287 Ill. App. 3d 77, 678 N.E.2d 30 (1997), that defense counsel was not ineffective for allegedly giving defendant erroneous advice regarding early release. The Maury court cited Huante when it determined that the defense counsel\u2019s advice concerned a collateral consequence of the defendant\u2019s guilty plea. Maury, 287 Ill. App. 3d at 82, 678 N.E.2d at 33. The court also noted that unlike the defense counsel in Huante, who failed to advise an accused of a collateral consequence, the defense counsel in its case gave the accused erroneous advice. Maury, 287 Ill. App. 3d at 83, 678 N.E.2d at 34. The court determined that the distinction between failing to advise and actively giving wrong advice was irrelevant because either way the advice concerned a collateral consequence of the plea. Maury, 287 Ill. App. 3d at 83, 678 N.E.2d at 34. The court did not discuss Correa.\nIn 2005, the Second District of the Illinois Appellate Court in People v. Young, 355 Ill. App. 3d 317, 822 N.E.2d 920 (2005), pointed out the Maury court\u2019s failure to consider Correa, \u201cwhich draws a crucial distinction between \u2018the passive conduct of counsel in failing to discuss with a defendant the collateral consequences of a guilty plea\u2019 and \u2018unequivocal, erroneous, misleading representations\u2019 that counsel makes in response to a defendant\u2019s specific inquiries.\u201d Young, 355 Ill. App. 3d at 323, 822 N.E.2d at 925, quoting Correa, 108 Ill. 2d at 551-52, 485 N.E.2d at 311. Because of its failure to address Correa, the Young court declined to follow Maury as it was \u201csimply mistaken in holding that there is no legally meaningful distinction between counsel\u2019s passive failure to inform a defendant of the collateral consequences of a guilty plea and counsel\u2019s affirmative misrepresentation of those consequences.\u201d Young, 355 Ill. App. 3d at 323, 822 N.E.2d at 926. The Young court held that defendant\u2019s allegation that he pleaded guilty based on his guilty-plea counsel\u2019s erroneous advice was legally sufficient under the Act to entitle the defendant to an evidentiary hearing to determine whether the defendant could prove his contention that his counsel was ineffective and his plea was involuntary. Young, 355 Ill. App. 3d at 323-24, 822 N.E.2d at 926.\nWe agree with Young that the Illinois Supreme Court drew a distinction in Correa and Huante between failure to give advice and actively giving wrong advice regarding collateral consequences of a plea. In this case, defendant\u2019s pro se petition, the attached letter from guilty-plea counsel, the amended petition, and the arguments during the postconviction proceedings demonstrate that defendant alleges that (1) guilty-plea counsel gave him erroneous advice, (2) based on that erroneous advice he decided to plead guilty, and (3) he would not have pleaded guilty had it not been for the misinformation. Defendant\u2019s contention that counsel gave him wrong advice and he relied on that advice is sufficient under the Act to entitle him to an evidentiary hearing \u2014 even though the advice involved a collateral consequence of his guilty plea. Whether defendant can ultimately prove his contention will be resolved at the evidentiary hearing. As we are remanding this case for an evidentiary hearing, we need not address defendant\u2019s claim of ineffective assistance of postconviction counsel.\nIII.
