P. v. Coonrod
Pursuant to a negotiated plea, Defendant pled no contest to committing a lewd act upon a child; in exchange for “no immediate state prison” and dismissal of a remaining charge. Imposition of sentence was suspended and defendant was placed on five years formal probation on conditions, among others, that he serve 90 days in county jail and “obey all the general terms [of probation], including the fines necessary to be paid.” One of the general terms of defendant’s probation was to “[p]ay fines, restitution and fees as specified on the FINANCIAL OBLIGATION PAGE attached and as ordered by the Court.” The financial obligation page specified $2,570 in fines and fees, including a $700 fine for the underlying offense, a $200 restitution fine, a $700 sex offender fine, a $25 criminal justice administration fee, a $445 fee for the presentence investigation report, a $420 public defender fee, a $25 work program fee, a $20 court security fee, and a $35 administrative fee.
Defendant appeals having failed to obtain a certificate of probably cause.
The matter is remanded to the trial court for an express determination as to whether all of the fines should be included. Should the trial court determine that some or all of those fines and/or fees should have been included in the abstract of judgment, the trial court is directed to amend the abstract and to forward a certified copy to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Judgment otherwise affirmed.
