Description
Juan C. Cruz, who is serving a twenty-three year sentence for robbery, brought this petition for habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, alleging that his guilty plea was involuntary because he misunderstood the nature of the charge against him, and because the state trial court failed to explain the elements of that charge during the plea proceeding. The district court found that the plea satisfied all constitutional requirements and dismissed the petition. We affirm.
