P. v. Riggins
Appellant, Ronald David Riggins, was convicted by plea of numerous charges in eight Tulare County Superior Court cases (cases A through H).
On August 7, 2009, the court sentenced Riggins in the eight cases to an aggregate term of nine years eight months.
On November 10, 2011, the court denied Riggins’s request for a modification of sentence/abstract of judgment.
On appeal Riggins contends: 1) he is entitled to two additional days of presentence conduct credit in four cases because the court committed a mathematical error; 2) he is entitled to four additional days of presentence custody credit in case No. PCF183573C (case A); and 3) the court erred by its failure to award presentence conduct credit pursuant to the more generous provisions of amended versions of Penal Code sections 4019[1] and 2933. We will find that the court erred in its award of presentence custody credit, albeit not for the reasons advanced by Riggins, and modify the judgment accordingly. In all other respects, we affirm.
