Error and/or relief
The abstract of judgment contains several errors and must be corrected.
Holding:
The abstract of judgment mistakenly included a $40 court operations assessment and a $30 conviction assessment, neither of which the court imposed, and it misidentified the defendant’s custody credits to have been awarded pursuant to section 4019 rather than section 2933.1. It also omitted a reference to subdivision (b) when it reflected the enhancement imposed was pursuant to section 12022.53.
Finally, the abstract did not reflect that the $300 fine imposed per section 1202.4 was suspended by the court unless and until parole was revoked. It is firmly established that fines, fees, and other financial assessments cannot be included in an abstract of judgment in a criminal case unless imposed by the court by its oral pronouncement at sentencing. By the same logic, when the court suspends execution of a fine in its oral pronouncement, that fact must be reflected on the abstract as well.
