P. v. Walters CA4/1
James C. Walters, Jr., raises two issues pertaining to fines, fees and penalty assessments in three cases. In case SCN358801, a jury found Walters guilty of taking and driving a vehicle (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a), count 1), buying or receiving a stolen vehicle (Pen. Code, § 496d, count 2) and possessing a controlled substance for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11351, count 3). The trial court sentenced Walters to a total prison term of four years eight months. The court imposed a laboratory analysis fee (Health & Saf. Code, § 11372.5, subd. (a)) and a criminal drug program fee (Health & Saf. Code, § 11372.7, subd. (a)), and included a penalty assessment on both. Walters contends the trial court improperly imposed penalty assessments on the criminal laboratory analysis fee and a drug program fee. We reject this contention.
