P. v. Smith CA3
Defendant James Edward Smith pleaded no contest in three unrelated cases. The trial court sentenced him to a total of eight years in state prison and awarded custody credits. On appeal, defendant argues the trial court erred in failing to award custody credits as to one of the cases. The People claim the court properly awarded the credits in its oral pronouncement of judgment, but the credits were omitted from the clerk’s minute order and abstract of judgment. We agree defendant is entitled to custody credits and order the trial court to correct the minute order and abstract of judgment to accurately reflect the judgment imposed.
