Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
ROSS, Circuit Judge.
The issue in this habeas corpus action is whether Joseph George, Jr.’s plea of nolo contendere to attempted sexual assault was entered voluntarily. The questions on appeal are: 1) whether a state trial court’s failure to inform a defendant in a criminal trial that he would be subjected to a mental health commitment hearing upon completion of his sentence rendered a plea of nolo contendere involuntary, and 2) whether civil commitment following incarceration is a direct consequence of the defendant’s plea.
Joseph George, Jr. is incarcerated in the Nebraska State Penitentiary.…
