Issues: (1) Whether the respondent, Hector Sebastion Nunez-Diaz, is categorically barred
from establishing prejudice under Strickland v. Washington for a
Padilla v. Kentucky / Lee v. United States claim because, as an
unauthorized alien, he is without any legal
right to remain in the United States; and (2) whether the Arizona Supreme Court erred
in finding Strickland prejudice, where inter
alia there was no evidence that the respondent
had a viable defense either to the criminal
charges or deportation.
