Error and/or relief
The abstract of judgment must be corrected to reflect the oral pronouncement of judgment.
Holding:
The oral imposition of sentence constitutes the judgment in an action, and the minutes cannot add anything substantive to the oral pronouncement. Generally, the oral pronouncement controls if there is a discrepancy, and the court clerk lacks the authority to add fines or fees not imposed by the trial court. We therefore “remand the matter to the trial court to delineate any fines and fees imposed, and their statutory bases.
Authority:
