P. v. Thomas CA2/4
Appellant Tito Ace Thomas appeals from an order placing him on probation following his pleading nolo contendere to robbery (Pen. Code § 211) and assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury (§ 245, subd. (a)(4)). He argues the trial court erred in imposing certain fines and assessments as terms of his probation. We agree and modify the court’s order to separately impose those fines and assessments.
Appellant also argues the trial court violated his constitutional right to due process when it made support of his dependents “as directed by [his] probation officer” a condition of his probation. He argues this condition is unconstitutionally vague and improperly delegates judicial authority. We agree in part and modify the court’s order accordingly. In all other respects, we affirm the trial court’s order.
