Chae V. People

The petitioner, Byong Chol Chae, filed a Crim. P. 35(c) motion to vacate his plea of guilty to a charge of second degree sexual assault. After a hearing on the petitioner's motion, the district court concluded that the guilty plea was voluntarily and knowingly entered, and it denied Byong Chol Chae's motion to vacate the plea. The Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's order in an unpublished opinion. People v. Byong Chol Chae, No. 85CA1506 (Colo. App. Oct. 29, 1987). We granted certiorari to review the court of appeals' decision, and we now affirm in part and reverse in part.
