The 4th within 10 years is a felony. Contact an immigration attorney about deportation.

If his last DUI was in 2000, then this should be considered and treated as his first DUI. DUIs only go back 10 years in California. However, his hit and run misdemeanor may be considered a crime involving moral turpitude which could be a problem.

It's 4 DUIs within a 10 year period. The 4th can be a felony. They measure from arrest date to arrest date. Also, any criminal conviction has immigration consequences such as deportation, exclusion from amnesty or denial of naturalization.
