Error and/or relief
It was error to impose a $41 fine under section 1202.5. It is ordered stricken.
Holding:
Under section 1202.5(a), courts are required to impose a fine on a defendant who is convicted of a theft-related offense listed in the statute. Here, the $41 crime prevention fine was unauthorized because defendant’s convictions are not among the offenses listed in section 1202.5(a). Thus, we strike the $41 crime prevention fine from defendant’s sentence.
