¶1 Petitioner Daniel Stockwell seeks to withdraw his guilty plea to a 1986 charge of statutory rape in the first degree. Stockwell’s plea statement and judgment and sentence misstated the statutory maximum sentence. We hold that in a personal restraint petition (PRP), a petitioner must show actual and substantial prejudice in a challenge to a guilty plea based on such a misstatement. Because Stockwell fails to make this showing, we affirm the Court of Appeals.

FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

¶2 In 1985, Daniel Stockwell was convicted of indecent liberties and given a special sex offender sentencing alternative (SSOSA). During his required outpatient treatment, he admitted to having sexual contact with a minor. Subsequently, he was charged with one count of statutory rape in the first degree, to which he pleaded guilty on July 29,1986. His plea form stated the prosecutor would recommend an exceptional sentence within SSOSA guidelines. However, the plea statement and judgment and sentence both misstated the maximum sentence as 20 years, with a $50,000 fine, when in fact the statutory maximum was life.

¶3 Stockwell received a SSOSA exceptional sentence downward, including 24 months of outpatient treatment and 12 months of community supervision. He completed the terms of his sentence and was discharged on October 25, 1989.

¶4 Meanwhile, the legislature enacted a one year time limit on collateral attacks of criminal convictions, which became effective on July 23, 1989. ROW 10.73.120. This time limit applies to all petitions filed more than one year *592after the effective date of the statute. RCW 10.73.130. The Department of Corrections (DOC) was directed to attempt to advise every person who, on the effective date, was “serving a term of incarceration, probation, parole, or community supervision pursuant to a conviction of a felony,” of the change. RCW 10.73.120. The director of the division of community corrections issued a memorandum dated December 5, 1989, directing community corrections and work release supervisors to post a DOC notice addressing the time limit change. Stockwell’s community custody ended about six weeks before the memorandum was issued, and he claims he was not notified of the time limit.

¶5 In 2004, Stockwell was convicted of first degree child molestation and attempted first degree child molestation. The trial court imposed a persistent offender sentence of life without the possibility of early release, relying on the earlier convictions. Stockwell subsequently filed a PRP challenging the 1986 judgment and sentence. He first contended he was not time barred because his sentence was facially invalid and he did not receive notice from DOC. He also argued his guilty plea was involuntary because the plea statement incorrectly stated the maximum. The acting chief judge dismissed his petition as time barred.

¶6 Stockwell filed a motion for discretionary review in this court, which was stayed pending In re Personal Restraint of McKiearnan, 165 Wn.2d 777, 203 P.3d 375 (2009). After McKiearnan, the matter was referred to a department of the court, which granted review and remanded to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration in light of McKiearnan.

¶7 On remand, the Court of Appeals determined that Stockwell’s petition was not time barred because DOC failed to provide notice of the time limit. In re Pers. Restraint of Stockwell, 161 Wn. App. 329, 334, 254 P.3d 899 (2011). Considering the merits, the court held that although Stockwell demonstrated a constitutional error based on misinformation of the statutory maximum, he failed to *593show resulting prejudice. Stockwell then filed a motion for discretionary review in this court. This motion was stayed pending In re Personal Restraint of Coats, 173 Wn.2d 123, 267 P.3d 324 (2011). Following Coats, the court granted review.

ANALYSIS

¶8 Before addressing Stockwell’s substantive arguments, we must determine whether Stockwell’s petition is time barred. “No petition or motion for collateral attack on a judgment and sentence in a criminal case may be filed more than one year after the judgment becomes final if the judgment and sentence is valid on its face and was rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction.” RCW 10.73.090. Facial invalidity can exist if a trial court lacked the statutory authority to impose a sentence. In re Pers. Restraint of Scott, 173 Wn.2d 911, 916, 271 P.3d 218 (2012); see also Coats, 173 Wn.2d at 144 (“we have found only errors that result from a judge exceeding the judge’s authority to render a judgment and sentence facially invalid”).

¶9 Stockwell’s petition was filed over two decades after his judgment became final. He also received an exceptional sentence downward, a legal sentence both under the erroneous maximum and the correct legal maximum. Thus, his sentence was facially valid and time barred.

¶10 Stockwell, however, argues RCW 10.73.090 should not bar his PRP because DOC did not attempt to give him notice of the time bar amendment. When the legislature amended chapter 10.73 RCW to include the time bar, it required DOC to “attempt to advise” everyone who, on July 23,1989, was under community supervision pursuant to a felony conviction. RCW 10.73.120. While actual notice was not required, an attempt was necessary. See In re Pers. Restraint of Vega, 118 Wn.2d 449,823 P.2d 1111 (1992) (time limit did not apply where no attempt was made to notify petitioner serving federal prison sentence).

*594¶11 Here, notices were not posted until after Stockwell was discharged. The State argues the act of posting notices alone is sufficient to meet the statutory requirements under In re Personal Restraint of Runyan, 121 Wn.2d 432, 453, 853 P.2d 424 (1993). In Runyan, this court held the time bar applied to a petitioner on parole who regularly reported to his parole officer, where notices were placed in community correction offices. Id. at 438, 451. There, the petitioner was unable to show that DOC did not attempt notice. Id. at 453. Unlike the petitioner in Runyan, Stockwell did not have a similar opportunity to potentially see the notices. Accordingly, the time bar does not apply to Stockwell’s petition.1

¶12 Turning to the merits of the petition, Stockwell contends that misinformation regarding the legal maximum sentence renders his plea involuntary, violating the due process clauses of the United States and Washington Constitutions. U.S. Const, amend. XIV, § 1; Wash. Const, art. I, § 3. In light of this error, he argues he need not show actual and substantial prejudice because an involuntary plea creates a presumption of prejudice in a direct appeal and that same standard also applies in a PRP.

¶13 Where we have addressed the standards in a direct appeal, we have stated that “[d]ue process requires an affirmative showing that a defendant entered a guilty plea intelligently and voluntarily.” State v. Ross, 129 Wn.2d 279, 284, 916 P.2d 405 (1996) (citing State v. Barton, 93 Wn.2d 301, 304, 609 P.2d 1353 (1980)). A guilty plea may be considered involuntary when it is based on misinformation regarding a direct consequence of the plea, which includes the statutory maximum. State v. Mendoza, 157 Wn.2d 582, *595591, 141 P.3d 49 (2006) (“a guilty plea may be deemed involuntary when based on misinformation regarding a direct consequence on the plea”); State v. Weyrich, 163 Wn.2d 554, 557,182 P.3d 965 (2008) (“A defendant must be informed of the statutory maximum for a charged crime, as this is a direct consequence of his guilty plea.”). An involuntary plea constitutes a manifest injustice. State v. Walsh, 143 Wn.2d 1, 6, 17 P.3d 591 (2001). Under CrR 4.2(f), a court must allow a defendant to withdraw a guilty plea where withdrawal is necessary to correct a manifest injustice. However, if the motion for withdrawal is made after the judgment, it is governed by CrR 7.8(b), which states that a court “may relieve a party from a final judgment” for several reasons, including mistake, newly discovered evidence, fraud, a void judgment, or any other reason justifying relief.

¶14 We have acknowledged that a petitioner may seek to withdraw a plea on direct appeal where the defendant has been misinformed of the maximum sentence. See, e.g., Mendoza, 157 Wn.2d at 592; Weyrich, 163 Wn.2d at 556; Walsh, 143 Wn.2d at 10. For example, in Mendoza, a miscalculated offender score resulted in a lower range than indicated in the plea agreement. 157 Wn.2d at 584-85. During sentencing proceedings, the State explained the error and requested a lower sentence within the correct range. Id. Mendoza moved to withdraw his plea on grounds unrelated to the erroneous score. Id. at 585. The sentencing court rejected Mendoza’s motion. Id. On review, this court stated that “[a]bsent a showing that the defendant was correctly informed of all of the direct consequences of his guilty plea, the defendant may move to withdraw the plea.” Id. at 591. However, Mendoza waived his right to challenge the plea as involuntary because he did not object to sentencing or move to withdraw his plea when he learned of the mistake in the offender score before sentencing and because he received a lower sentence than statutorily authorized by his correct score. Id.

*596¶15 Similarly, in Weyrich, a plea statement and judgment and sentence mistakenly described one of the charges as having a maximum sentence of 5 years, when in fact the maximum was 10 years. 163 Wn.2d at 556. Despite the error, Weyrich was sentenced within the correct range. Id. Prior to sentencing, Weyrich moved to withdraw his pleas, which he argued were not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently made. Id. The trial court denied the motion, and the Court of Appeals affirmed. State v. Weyrich, noted at 137 Wn. App. 1011 (2007). We reversed the Court of Appeals and noted that “[t]he State’s argument that the error did not actually affect Weyrich’s decision to plead guilty requires the sort of subjective hindsight inquiry into Weyrich’s decision of which Mendoza and [In re Personal Restraint of] Isadore[, 151 Wn.2d 294, 88 P.3d 390 (2004)] disapprove.”2 Weyrich, 163 Wn.2d at 557.

¶16 Here, Stockwell’s judgment and sentence did not reflect the correct statutory maximum of life imprisonment. On direct appeal this error would be presumed prejudicial and, unless waived, would support Stockwell’s motion to withdraw his plea. The issue here is whether Stockwell is entitled to the same presumption of prejudice on collateral review or whether he bears the burden to show the error caused actual and substantial prejudice.

¶17 A petitioner’s burden on collateral review has evolved over the course of several decades. In In re Personal Restraint of Hagler, 97 Wn.2d 818, 823, 650 P.2d 1103 (1982), we discussed the origin of PRPs in the State’s habeas corpus remedy under article IV, section 4 of the Washington State Constitution. We stated that a PRP, like a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, is not a substitute for an appeal. Id. In discussing the standard to be applied we stated, “While the presumption of prejudice is appropriate to direct review of a conviction, it is not appropriate to *597collateral review by way of personal restraint petition.” Id. We acknowledged collateral review is distinct from a direct appeal because collateral relief “undermines the principles of finality of litigation, degrades the prominence of the trial, and sometimes costs society the right to punish admitted offenders.” Id. at 824 (citing Engle v. Isaac, 456 U.S. 107,102 S. Ct. 1558, 71 L. Ed. 2d 783 (1982)). We also stated that under federal habeas standards, the burden is on the petitioner to show “ ‘not merely that the errors at his trial created a possibility of prejudice, but that they worked to his actual and substantial disadvantage, infecting his entire trial with error of constitutional dimensions.’ ” Id. at 825 (quoting United States v. Frady, 456 U.S. 152,170,102 S. Ct. 1584, 71 L. Ed. 2d 816 (1982)). We held that the same burden should be met in PRPs challenging trial error. Id. Then, in In re Personal Restraint of Cook, we addressed the petitioner’s burden when raising constitutional trial error stating that “in the context of a constitutional error, a petitioner must satisfy his threshold burden of demonstrating actual and substantial prejudice.” 114 Wn.2d 802, 810, 792 P.2d 506 (1990) (citing In re Pers. Restraint of Haverty, 101 Wn.2d 498, 504, 681 P.2d 835 (1984)).

¶18 The court continued its course correction in In re Personal Restraint of St. Pierre, 118 Wn.2d 321, 823 P.2d 492 (1992). Prior to St. Pierre, in several cases, the court presumed prejudice on collateral review when the error would never be harmless on direct appeal. See State v. Kitchen, 110 Wn.2d 403,413, 756 P.2d 105 (1988); In re Pers. Restraint of Boone, 103 Wn.2d 224,233,691 P.2d 964 (1984); In re Pers. Restraint of Gunter, 102 Wn.2d 769,774,689 P.2d 1074 (1984); In re Pers. Restraint of Richardson, 100 Wn.2d 669, 679, 675 P.2d 209 (1983). In Richardson, the error at issue was a conflict of interest arising from Richardson’s attorneys representation of a witness who was called at the trial. Id. at 678. There, this court acknowledged that ordinarily one raising an error in a PRP must also demonstrate prejudice. Id. at 679. However, under the facts, we con-*598eluded that the error, if proved, would provide automatic proof of the prejudice. Id. In Boone, we interpreted Richardson as suggesting that certain constitutional errors that are never harmless on direct review will be presumed prejudicial in a PRP. Boone, 103 Wn.2d at 233 (“This court has recently held that prejudice to a personal restraint petitioner will be presumed for certain types of constitutional error. In re [Pers. Restraint of] Richardson, 100 Wn.2d 669, 679, 675 P.2d 209 (1983).”).

¶19 Retreating from the broad holding in Boone, we stated in St. Pierre that “[i]n dicta, we have previously suggested constitutional errors which can never be considered harmless on direct appeal will also be presumed prejudicial for the purposes of personal restraint petitions. We now reject this proposition.” St. Pierre, 118 Wn.2d at 328 (citing Boone, 103 Wn.2d at 233). This court declined to adopt a rule that “would categorically equate per se prejudice on collateral review with per se prejudice on direct review.” Id. at 329. Citing to Hagler, we opined that “some errors which result in per se prejudice on direct review will also be per se prejudicial on collateral attack” but that the interests of finality demand a higher standard in a collateral attack. Id.3 As to the error claimed by St. Pierre, a defective charging document, we required the petitioner to prove actual and substantial prejudice on collateral review. Id.

¶20 Unlike the error in Richardson, deprivation of counsel, the error here is a misstatement of sentencing consequences. Following St. Pierre, this court has addressed the burden to show actual and substantial prejudice arising *599from an incorrect statement of sentencing consequences. In In re Personal Restraint of Fawcett, 147 Wn.2d 298, 299-300,53 P.3d 972 (2002), the petitioner argued that his guilty plea was involuntary because the plea form erroneously implied he could receive a one year community placement term when the law in fact required two. Fawcett violated the conditions of his community placement two months into his term, which resulted in revocation of his SSOSA. Id. at 300. This court held that despite misinformation about the term of community placement, the petitioner failed to show actual and substantial prejudice because he would suffer no future prejudice from the two year term that had been revoked during the first year. Id. at 302.

¶21 In Isadore, 151 Wn.2d 294, we again acknowledged the burden to show actual and substantial prejudice in a PRP but declined to impose the burden where it would not further the goals of finality. In Isadore, the petitioner pleaded guilty after being told that he would not face community placement as a consequence of his plea. Id. at 297. Over a year later, the prosecutor’s office was notified that community placement was statutorily required and so the petitioner’s sentence was amended to add community placement. Id. The petitioner filed a PRP, seeking enforcement of the original plea agreement. Id. On review, this court acknowledged the burden on the petitioner to show prejudice. However, because Isadore did not have a prior opportunity for judicial review, the court applied the standard in In re Personal Restraint of Cashaw, 123 Wn.2d 138, 148-49,866 P.2d 8 (1994), and required Isadore to show only unlawful restraint. RAP 16.4(b), (c); Isadore, 151 Wn.2d at 299 (determining threshold PRP requirements did not apply where there was no prior opportunity or avenue for obtaining judicial review (citing Cashaw, 123 Wn.2d at 148-49)). We also noted that even if Isadore were required to meet the PRP prejudice standard, he had done so.

¶22 Against this backdrop, Stockwell makes several arguments in support of his claim that he is not required to

*600show that he suffered actual and substantial prejudice as a result of the misstatement of the maximum sentence. First, he says that Isadore and In re Personal Restraint of Bradley, 165 Wn.2d 934, 205 P.3d 123 (2009), acknowledge that certain errors on direct appeal are presumed prejudicial in a PRP. We disagree. As mentioned earlier, the court in Isadore did discuss the actual and substantial standard but held that the Cashaw standard applied instead.4 In Bradley the court cited to Isadore. The issue of whether errors that are presumed prejudicial on direct appeal are presumed prejudicial in a PRP was not before the court in either of these cases. As the Court of Appeals stated in ETCO, Inc. v. Department of Labor & Industries, 66 Wn. App. 302, 307, 831 P.2d 1133 (1992):

Where the literal words of a court opinion appear to control an issue, but where the court did not in fact address or consider the issue, the ruling is not dispositive and may be reexamined without violating stare decisis in the same court or without violating an intermediate appellate court’s duty to accept the rulings of the Supreme Court. “An opinion is not authority for what is not mentioned therein and what does not appear to have been suggested to the court by which the opinion was rendered.” Continental Mut. Sav. Bank v. Elliott, 166 Wash. 283, 300, 6 P.2d 638, 81 A.L.R. 1005 (1932).

(Footnote omitted.)

¶23 Stockwell also argues that older cases (Kitchen, Boone, Richardson, and Gunter) support his claim that he is not required to meet the actual and substantial prejudice standard. As discussed above, this court specifically rejected the broad language in these cases that would hold that “constitutional errors which can never be considered harmless on direct appeal will also be presumed prejudicial *601for the purposes of personal restraint petitions.” St. Pierre, 118 Wn.2d at 328 (citing Boone, 103 Wn.2d at 233). While acknowledging that some per se errors on direct review could also be per se prejudicial on collateral attack, we have had no occasion to decide whether a personal restraint petitioner who claims he was misinformed about the consequences of his plea must show that he was actually and substantially prejudiced by that error.5

¶24 Stockwell also argues that court rules support the conclusion that prejudice resulting from misinformation of a sentencing consequence argued on direct appeal is sufficient to meet actual and substantial prejudice in a PRP. He contends that the manifest injustice requirement in CrR 4.26 and manifest error requirement in RAP 2.5(a)7 mirror the prejudice required in a PRP. In support, he cites to Walsh for the court’s discussion that “manifest” means a showing of prejudice is made. Walsh, 143 Wn.2d at 8.

¶25 First, Stockwell’s argument fails to recognize that CrR 4.2 is a trial court rule. Moreover, a motion to withdraw a plea after a judgment is entered is governed by CrR 7.8, not simply CrR 4.2(f).8 CrR 7.8 states that a court may grant relief from a final judgment for mistakes, for newly discovered evidence, for fraud, where a judgment is void, or for any other reason justifying relief. It applies to motions made within a reasonable time and, in the case of mistakes and newly discovered evidence, not more than one year after the judgment was entered. CrR 7.8(b). As we said in State v. Lamb, 175 Wn.2d 121, 128, 285 P.3d 27 (2012), “A *602finding of ‘manifest injustice’ does not automatically establish that relief is available under CrR 7.8(b)(5).” See also State v. Robinson, 172 Wn.2d 783, 263 P.3d 1233 (2011) (stating that if the petitioner had moved to withdraw his plea after the judgment was entered, he would have had to satisfy CrR 7.8(b) in addition to CrR 4.2(f)). CrR 7.8 represents a potentially higher standard than CrR 4.2(f) for withdrawing a plea. Just as a petitioner may need to meet a higher burden when withdrawing a plea postjudgment versus prejudgment, so should a petitioner in the context of a PRR As to RAP 2.5, this rule pertains to the court’s discretion to hear issues on appeal or review that were not objected to at trial. The rule does not govern a petitioner’s burden in a PRP.

¶26 Finally, Stockwell argues that we are precluded from applying the actual and substantial prejudice standard because it would require a materiality inquiry that was rejected under Isadore, 151 Wn.2d at 302. See Bradley, 165 Wn.2d at 940. In Isadore, we declined to adopt a materiality test that would consider how material an error was to a defendant’s decision to plead guilty. 151 Wn.2d at 302.9 However, a materiality inquiry, involving a hindsight review of defendant’s motivations, is distinct from consideration of actual and substantial prejudice, which looks to the practical effects of a sentence. Considerations of actual and substantial prejudice do not require insight into the defendant’s state of mind and motivations, but simply look at the practical effects that resulted from error.

¶27 We do recognize that there may be some confusion arising from Bradley because there the court relied on direct appeal cases and on Isadore without discussing the prejudice standard imposed on a personal restraint petitioner. We take this opportunity to clarify that a personal *603restraint petitioner seeking to withdraw a plea based on a misstatement of the statutory maximum is required to satisfy the actual and substantial prejudice standard on collateral attack.

¶28 We next consider whether Stockwell was actually and substantially prejudiced by the misstatement of the maximum sentence.

¶29 Stockwell does not argue that he was actually and substantially prejudiced, nor do the facts suggest that he was. First, the sentence he received was statutorily authorized. Although the judgment and sentence misstated the maximum, he received an exceptional downward sentence, below both the stated maximum and the actual maximum. Moreover, his sentence was completed over two decades ago. See State v. Hardesty, 129 Wn.2d 303,313-14, 915 P.2d 1080 (1996) (discussing double jeopardy as applied to sentencing and acknowledging that an erroneous sentence that has been fully served precludes imposition of a heightened sentence where the defendant acquires a legitimate expectation of finality). Under the facts here, Stockwell has failed to meet his burden to show that the error complained of resulted in actual and substantial prejudice.

CONCLUSION

¶30 We hold that Stockwell was required to demonstrate actual and substantial prejudice resulting from the erroneous misstatement of the statutory maximum and that he has failed to meet this burden. We affirm the Court of Appeals.

¶31 (concurring) — This is a case about whether a personal restraint petitioner must show *604“actual and substantial prejudice” to prevail on a collateral challenge to a guilty plea where the petitioner was misadvised that the statutory maximum was 20 years when the actual maximum was life and where the sentence imposed was far lower than either 20 years or life. Under our prior case law, these are constitutional errors that would have been presumed prejudicial on appeal. The majority holds that for this particular constitutional error, the greater interest in finality that attaches postappeal militates in favor of an actual prejudice inquiry on a personal restraint petition (PRP). I agree.

¶32 But I disagree with the two pillars of the majority’s analysis. First, the majority completely redefines what “prejudice” means in this context. The majority holds that in the plea-bargain context, prejudice means only a sentence that is longer than the statutory maximum or longer than the maximum of which the petitioner was advised. But the due process clause actually guarantees a procedure that allows the defendant to make a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary plea decision. U.S. Const, amend. XIV, § 1; Wash. Const, art. I, § 3. “Prejudice,” therefore, occurs when an error undermines that procedure and the voluntariness of the plea — regardless of the sentence imposed. Second, the majority uses this case to undertake a radical reanalysis of the sort of prejudice that every personal restraint petitioner has been required to show in every other type of PRP. That radical reanalysis is not necessary to decide this case. In fact, the rule established in In re Personal Restraint of Richardson, 100 Wn.2d 669, 679, 675 P.2d 209 (1983), overruled on other grounds by State v. Dhaliwal, 150 Wn.2d 559, 568, 79 P.3d 432 (2003), State v. Kitchen, 110 Wn.2d 403, 413, 756 P.2d 105 (1988), and In re Personal Restraint of Gunter, 102 Wn.2d 769, 774, 689 P.2d 1074 (1984), and restated in In re Personal Restraint of St. Pierre, 118 Wn.2d 321,328,823 P.2d 492 (1992) — that errors which are presumptively prejudicial on direct appeal will generally be presumed prejudicial in a PRP — is still good law. So although I concur in the outcome, I disagree with the majority’s two main points.

*605ANALYSIS

¶33 The majority’s principal error is totally redefining what “prejudice” means in this context. The majority asserts that erroneous misadvice in the plea-bargain context does not cause prejudice unless the defendant gets a sentence higher than the maximum, majority at 603, or higher than what the plea agreement said, id. The majority even asserts that this prejudice inquiry “do[es] not require insight into the defendant’s state of mind and motivations, but simply look[s] at the practical effects that resulted from error.” Id. at 602 (emphasis added).

¶34 This flatly contradicts state and federal due process clause jurisprudence. When we are dealing with the voluntariness of a plea, an error causes harm if it undermines the voluntariness of the decision to plead guilty — the process that is supposed to ensure a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary decision, not a particular sentence. This is true under our seminal decisions on this topic. In re Pers. Restraint of Hews, 108 Wn.2d 579, 594, 597, 741 P.2d 983 (1987) (Hews II) (court must examine “ ‘totality of circumstances’ ” to determine whether petitioner understood nature of charge, elements and whether Hews “had discussed with his attorney alternative courses of action”); In re Pers. Restraint of Mendoza Montoya, 109 Wn.2d 270, 277, 744 P.2d 340 (1987).10 This is true under the United States Supreme Court’s seminal decisions on this topic. Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 242, 89 S. Ct. 1709, 23 L. Ed. 2d 274 (1969). This is true under United States Supreme Court decisions on the related topic of what constitutes ineffective assistance of counsel in the plea-advice context. Lafler v. *606Cooper,_U.S._, 132 S. Ct. 1376,1390-91,182 L. Ed. 2d 398 (2012) (distinguishing inquiry applicable to ineffective assistance claim arising in the plea context from requirement that plea itself be “knowing and voluntary”; treating prejudice in the former context as having adverse effect on cost-benefit analysis involved in deciding whether to plead guilty); Padilla v. Kentucky, 559 U.S. 356, 369, 130 S. Ct. 1473,176 L. Ed. 2d 284 (2010) (defense counsel must advise defendant pleading guilty of the consequence of deportation to provide effective assistance).

¶35 The majority’s approach departs from this constitutionally required focus on the voluntariness of the plea procedure. This flouts state and federal constitutional law. It is also illogical: since the defendant’s only claim is that his plea was involuntary, that should be the center of the court’s inquiry.

¶36 The majority supports its analysis with dicta from St. Pierre about a heightened prejudice standard ostensibly applicable in most — though St. Pierre did not say all11— PRPs. The majority suggests that St. Pierre established a one-size-fits-all “actual and substantial prejudice” prerequisite to relief for all PRPs.12

¶37 The majority does accurately report some of St. Pierre’s discussion. In the 20 years since St. Pierre was decided, however, its dicta has been substantially eroded. In fact, contrary to St. Pierre’s dicta, there is no single rule that personal restraint petitioners must show actual and substantial prejudice to obtain relief in all cases. Rather, under our controlling precedent, I identify four categories of PRPs triggering distinct analyses of prejudice.

*607¶38 First, we have PRPs alleging constitutional errors of the “trial”13 type (as opposed to the “structural” type). In those cases, the petitioner must generally prove actual and substantial prejudice by a preponderance of the evidence to prevail. E.g., In re Pers. Restraint of Haverty, 101 Wn.2d 498, 504, 681 P.2d 835 (1984); St. Pierre, 118 Wn.2d at 329.

¶39 Next, we have PRPs raising claims of nonconstitutional error. In those cases, the petitioner must prove a fundamental defect resulting in a complete miscarriage of justice, also by a preponderance of the evidence, to prevail. In re Pers. Restraint of Woods, 154 Wn.2d 400, 409,114 P.3d 607 (2005) (citing In re Pers. Restraint of Isadore, 151 Wn.2d 294, 298, 88 P.3d 390 (2004)), overruled in part on other grounds by Carey v. Musladin, 549 U.S. 70, 127 S. Ct. 649, 166 L. Ed. 2d 482 (2006). This category includes, for example, many errors in sentencing calculation. E.g., In re Pers. Restraint of Goodwin, 146 Wn.2d 861, 864-65, 50 P.3d 618 (2002). These first two categories make sense because the value of finality weighs more heavily in favor of repose at the collateral challenge — as opposed to the appeal — stage of criminal proceedings.

¶40 In addition, this court has clearly recognized a category of PRP where the petitioner need not prove harm in addition to that which is inherent in proof of the error itself. This category includes claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and prosecutorial withholding of material exculpatory evidence. In re Pers. Restraint of Crace, 174 Wn.2d 835, 843, 280 P.3d 1102 (2012) (explaining that claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and prosecutorial withholding of exculpatory evidence “share [an] important characteristic [in that] a petitioner who proves a violation [necessarily] shows prejudice,” without any further, secondary requirement of additional prejudice on collateral re*608view).14 This category makes sense because in these cases, proof of a harmful effect on the trial outcome inheres in the claim itself.

¶41 Then there are PRPs raising claims of so-called “structural” error. Structural errors do not really trigger a presumption of harm at all. Instead, they so fundamentally undermine the adversarial process that they “defy analysis by ‘harmless-error’ standards.” Arizona v. Fulminante, 499 U.S. 279, 309, 111 S. Ct. 1246, 113 L. Ed. 2d 302 (1991) (Rehnquist, C.J., concurring); see also United States v. Gonzalez-Lopez, 548 U.S. 140, 149 n.4, 126 S. Ct. 2557, 165 L. Ed. 2d 409 (2006). “Structural” errors resulting in automatic reversal on direct appeal include courtroom closure, State v. Wise, 176 Wn.2d 1, 15, 288 P.3d 1113 (2012); complete lack of counsel, Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335, 342-44, 83 S. Ct. 792, 9 L. Ed. 2d 799 (1963); judicial bias, Tumey v. Ohio, 273 U.S. 510, 535, 47 S. Ct. 437, 71 L. Ed. 749 (1927); race discrimination in grand jury selection, Vasquez v. Hillery, 474 U.S. 254,106 S. Ct. 617, 88 L. Ed. 2d 598 (1986); and defective reasonable doubt instructions, Sullivan v. Louisiana, 508 U.S. 275, 113 S. Ct. 2078, 124 L. Ed. 2d 182 (1993). Our court has treated some errors of this sort as requiring automatic reversal when raised in a collateral attack, though without using the label “structural” error. E.g., Richardson, 100 Wn.2d at 673-74. This category makes sense because, as discussed above, structural defects “defy analysis by ‘harmless-error’ standards.” Fulminante, 499 U.S. at 309 (Rehnquist, C.J., concurring).

¶42 To be sure, this court has not yet decided whether all structural errors, or to use different language, all errors that result in automatic reversal on direct appeal without proof of prejudice, must also result in automatic reversal in a PRP. But it has certainly held that some do. See Kitchen, *609110 Wn.2d at 413 (££[t]hose types of constitutional errors which can never be considered harmless on direct appeal will also be presumed prejudicial for purposes of personal restraint petitions”). This court has, in effect, treated double jeopardy clause violations as falling into this category. In re Pers. Restraint of Orange, 152 Wn.2d 795, 820-22,100 P.3d 291 (2004); In re Pers. Restraint of Francis, 170 Wn.2d 517, 524, 242 P.3d 866 (2010); State v. Mutch, 171 Wn.2d 646, 663-64, 254 P.3d 803 (2011). It has ruled that the failure to require the State to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt falls into this category. Gunter, 102 Wn.2d at 774. It has placed conflict of interest resulting in deprivation of counsel into this category. Richardson, 100 Wn.2d at 679 (counsel’s actual conflict of interest falls into this category; query whether proof that the conflict was actual rather than potential in fact places this in the category with Crace-type errors).

¶43 Into which category does the plea-advice error alleged in this case fall? On direct appeal, we have presumed prejudice from an error in counsel’s advice so apparently important that it could be presumed to have affected the knowing, intelligent, and voluntary nature of the plea. State v. Weyrich, 163 Wn.2d 554, 557,182 P.3d 965 (2008); State v. Mendoza, 157 Wn.2d 582, 590, 141 P.3d 49 (2006); Isadore, 151 Wn.2d at 302.15 On PRP, however, we traditionally put such errors into the first category described above, for constitutional errors of the “trial type,” and required some proof of an effect on the petitioner’s decision about whether to plead guilty. In re Pers. Restraint of Hews, 99 Wn.2d 80, *61088, 660 P.2d 263 (1983) (Hews I) (“An invalid plea of guilty constitutes actual prejudice.”); Hews II, 108 Wn.2d at 588-89 (“actual prejudice” established where petitioner shows that when he pleaded guilty, “he did not possess the requisite understanding of the law in relation to the facts” (citing Hews I, 99 Wn.2d at 87)). When the petitioner claimed such prejudice and the State disputed the existence of prejudice the petitioner would get a reference hearing to resolve that factual issue. Hews I, 99 Wn.2d at 88 (citing RAP 16.11(a), 16.12); cf. Isadore, 151 Wn.2d at 300 (where prosecutor neglected to inform petitioner of a direct consequence of his plea — a mandatory one-year community placement — petitioner was not required to show that the misinformation was material to his decision to plead guilty; given peculiar procedural posture, however, we applied the direct appeal prejudice standard).

¶44 The one exception is In re Personal Restraint of Bradley, 165 Wn.2d 934,205 P.3d 123 (2009). In Bradley, we held that the petitioner was entitled to withdraw his plea where the prosecution failed to advise him that his juvenile convictions “should have ‘washed out’ of his offender score,” id. at 938, because the court “will not speculate” about that misadvice’s actual effect but will instead presume that the misadvice caused the plea. Id. at 940 (citing Isadore, 151 Wn.2d at 302). The Bradley decision simply cited Isadore for this rule without noting that Isadore was not subject to regular PRP requirements, given the peculiar procedural posture of that case.16 Bradley is therefore out of step with Hews I, Hews II, Montoya, and their progeny. Instead, even though we presume prejudice on appeal from misadvice like the misadvice in this case, we require a petitioner to show prejudice to prevail in a PRP.

*611¶45 But the majority’s erroneous redefinition of “prejudice” is completely out of step with all of our prior case law and all of the United States Supreme Court’s prior case law. It essentially treats claims of constitutional error in the plea-bargain process as nonconstitutional errors subject to a far more demanding prejudice inquiry. The majority does this by demanding proof of not just actual and substantial prejudice to the right at issue — the right to a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary plea process — but something more. That something more seems to be proof of a far longer sentence.

¶46 In sum, the majority has watered down the “prejudice” standard for this category of constitutional error. Its analysis is not compelled by precedent. In fact, it conflicts with our seminal PRP plea-advice cases and with state and federal authority holding that the due process clause protects the plea process, not just the plea outcome. The majority instead cites St. Pierre. But it cites St. Pierre's dicta — much of it now discredited — rather than St. Pierre's holding.17

CONCLUSION

¶47 Under our prior cases, a personal restraint petitioner can prevail only if he or she shows (1) a constitutional *612error that caused actual and substantial prejudice for constitutional errors of the “trial” type; (2) a nonconstitutional error that inherently caused a complete miscarriage of justice; (3) a limited number of constitutional errors where prejudice inheres in proof of the error itself — Crace explicitly placed Strickland,18 and Brady19 errors into this category; or (4) structural errors (e.g., biased judge, courtroom closure, complete deprivation of counsel, improper beyond a reasonable doubt instruction) resulting in automatic reversible error. Here, Stockwell raises a constitutional error of the first type. He pleaded guilty after being erroneously advised that he faced a maximum sentence of 20 years, when the maximum sentence was actually imprisonment for life. In re Pers. Restraint of Stockwell, 161 Wn. App. 329, 331-32, 254 P.3d 899 (2011). Stockwell did not receive a sentence as high as either 20 years or life; he received a 24 month special sex offender sentencing alternative sentence. He must therefore prove actual and substantial prejudice to his right to a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary plea-bargain process to prevail on his PRP. He need not prove a longer sentence than the maximum or a longer sentence than he expected; in short, he need not prove the sort of complete miscarriage of justice that the majority’s redefinition of “prejudice” would require.

¶48 He has not met his burden. He has made no allegation of prejudice at all. I would therefore deny Mr. Stock-well’s PRP because he fails to meet the actual and substantial prejudice standard. I would not silently overrule the definition of “prejudice” that we adopted as far back as Hews I and Montoya, as the majority seems to do. I would not silently overrule our prior precedent retaining automatic reversible error on PRPs for certain especially intractable errors, e.g., Richardson, Orange, Francis, Gunter, and Mutch, as the majority does. And I would not place this *613constitutional error into the nonconstitutional error category, as the majority does.
