Error and/or relief
We did find an error in the abstract of judgment, which we will direct the trial court to correct. Whether the trial court clerk intended to record the date of the verdict or the date defendant was sentenced, the clerk failed to correctly record either. We shall direct the trial court to correct the abstract accordingly.
Holding:
The abstract of judgment was incorrect. It reflected the day of the year that the verdict was entered, except in 2021 rather than 2024. The judgment itself was entered later in 2024. We shall direct the trial court to correct the abstract accordingly.
Authority:
People v. Mitchell (2001) 26 Cal.4th 181, 185 [appellate court may order correction of clerical errors in the abstract of judgment]
