P. v. Santana
Under a plea agreement entered, defendant pled no contest to one count of forcible sodomy and admitted a special allegation that he used a deadly weapon. The court sentenced defendant to a total prison term of six years to be served consecutively to a federal prison term he was serving. The court also ordered defendant to pay, inter alia, a $20 court security fee. On appeal, defendant contends the imposition of the court security fee violated the constitutional prohibition against ex post facto laws and statutory principles disfavoring retroactive application of statutes. Court affirmed.
