Case: 000195

Error and/or relief

The abstract of judgment must be corrected to reflect that the defendant has not been convicted of a serious or violent felony.

Holding:

As counsel notes, the abstract of judgment incorrectly reflects that the defendant was convicted of a serious or violent felony. No such conviction appears in the record. The trial court shall prepare a corrected abstract of judgment not indicating the defendant was convicted of a serious or violent felony.

[Gary note: The court included no citation of authority, but the law is clear that an incorrect abstract of judgment must be corrected to reflect the actual judgment. I have included some cases the court could have cited.]
