P. v. Clemons
Appellant pled guilty to charges of possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell and driving with a suspended license. The court sentenced him to serve a total of five years in state prison, and imposed fines totaling $3,900, with a $1,200 fine stayed pending completion of parole. The court later modified the restitution component of the sentence, reducing the total fines to $2,900, with a $1,000 fine stayed pending completion of parole. On appeal, appellant contends the trial court erred by: (1) denying his motion to suppress evidence; (2) imposing a sentencing enhancement for appellant’s prior drug conviction under the mistaken belief that it was mandatory to do so; (3) imposing a laboratory fee, drug program fee and fine for the Vehicle Code section 14601.1 conviction, and penalty assessments; and (4) imposing a restitution fine.
Court modified fines and confirmed judgment.
