P. v. Williams CA4/15
In this appeal, defendant Nicholas Earl Williams argues that the trial court violated the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution and article I, section 17 of the California Constitution by imposing and staying for 120 days various fines and fees when defendant was put on formal probation, while simultaneously determining that defendant did not have the present ability to pay under People v. Dueñas (2019) 30 Cal.App.5th 1157 (Dueñas). We affirm because defendant does not establish on appeal that the fines and fees were unconstitutionally excessive, but we find that a limited remand is appropriate to correct certain errors in the trial court’s sentencing minute order.
