P. v. Napolitan
Pursuant to a negotiated disposition, defendant Thomas Anthony Napolitan pleaded no contest to three misdemeanors[1]: unauthorized use of a vehicle, driving on a suspended license, and using or being under the influence of a controlled substance. (Veh. Code, 10851, subd. (a), 14601.2, subd. (a); Health & Saf. Code, 11550, subd. (a).) That same day, defendant was placed on formal probation for two years, given credit for time served of 252 days, and was released from custody. Supervision fees were waived, due to defendants homelessness, but he was assessed a $110 restitution fund fine, a $207.55 criminal justice fee, a $100 lab analysis fee, and a $200 in attorney fees. Defendant challenges the imposition of attorney fees and the lab analysis fee. The People partially concede error. Court find merit in defendants arguments. Therefore Court modify the judgment to strike the attorney fees order and reduce the laboratory fee order and, as modified, affirm the judgment.
