P. v. Awwad CA1/2
Vivian Marie Awwad appeals from convictions of possession for sale of methamphetamine and fraudulent possession of personal information. She contends the trial court improperly imposed a probation condition requiring her to submit to warrantless searches of her electronic devices. She also maintains she received ineffective assistance of counsel due to her attorney’s failure to object to the fees, fines, and assessments imposed by the court, and failure to request an ability to pay hearing. In supplemental briefing, she further contends two fees imposed under former Penal Code section 1203.1ab must be vacated pursuant to recently effective legislation. We conclude the challenged probation condition must be stricken and any balance owed on the section 1203.1ab fees must be vacated, and the probation conditions requiring payment of such fees must be stricken.
