P. v. Baez
As stated in our prior opinion, defendant Bernardo Baez was sentenced to prison following a no contest plea to a charge of attempted murder. As part of his sentence, the trial court ordered defendant to pay a restitution fund fine of $2,200. Defendant challenged the courts imposition of that fine on appeal, asserting that it was not part of his plea bargain. We rejected defendants challenge and affirmed the judgment. The California Supreme Court granted review, as the same issue was then pending before it in Crandell. After issuing its decision in Crandell, the Supreme Court transferred this case back to this court, directing us to vacate our prior decision and to reconsider the cause in light of its recent decision. (People v. Baez, S146832, order filed August 13, 2007; see Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.528 (d).)
The judgment is affirmed.
