P. v. Maravilla
Defendant Javier Ruiz Maravilla pleaded no contest to second degree robbery (Pen. Code, 211),[1] and admitted that the offense was committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang ( 186.22, subd. (b)(1)). The court placed defendant on probation for five years with various terms and conditions. One of the conditions is that defendant is not to be present at any criminal court proceeding or at any criminal courthouse building or criminal courtroom unless he is scheduled for a court hearing or has the express permission of his probation officer.
On appeal, defendant challenges the imposition of the probation condition restricting his presence in courthouse buildings. He contends that the condition is unreasonable and violates his constitutional rights to travel and attend court proceedings. Court disagree with defendants contentions and, therefore, affirm the judgment.
