P. v. Sanchez-Macias
Jose Sanchez-Macias entered a negotiated guilty plea to one count of possession of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a)). The plea agreement provided Sanchez-Macias would receive ninety (90) days in custody as a condition of probation and that the remaining charge of the complaint -- possession of methamphetamine for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378) -- would be dismissed.
At sentencing on June 1, 2010, imposition of sentence was suspended for three years and Sanchez-Macias was placed on formal probation, which could be converted to summary probation if approved by the Probation Department after 18 months of formal probation, if successfully completed. Sanchez-Macias was given credit for time served of 93 days. The court ordered Sanchez-Macias to pay an $800 fine, which was satisfied by credit for time served, and to pay $200 in restitution and probation revocation fines pursuant to Penal Code sections 1202.4, subdivision (b) and 1202.44, respectively. The court also ordered payment of a $30 court security fee and a $30 criminal conviction assessment fee. Notice of appeal was filed on June 14, 2010. A certificate of probable cause was granted.
