The steps required to give immigration effect to post-conviction relief will differ depending upon the stage of the immigration proceedings at the time criminal counsel is able successfully to obtain a solution in criminal court.  The noncitizen may, for example, need to move to reopen some level of the immigration proceedings, or ask for a remand to a lower court.  For further discussion on what steps to take, see Criminal Defense of Immigrants § §  11.74-11.85; N. Tooby, Post-Conviction Relief for Immigrants, Chapter 10 (2004).[158]  See Criminal Defense of Immigrants §  15.34, concerning a motion to reopen or reconsider a removal order.
