P. v. Adams
Kenneth James Adams appeals a judgment entered after the court revoked his probation, sentenced him to six years in prison and imposed restitution and parole restitution fines of $1,200 each. He contends that the trial court (1) erred in revoking his probation because the prosecutor failed to comply with the requirements of the Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act of 2000 (the Act, which was adopted by the voters as Prop. 36, & codified in Pen. Code, 1210, 1210.1, 3063, & Health & Safety Code, 11999.4); (2) violated his plea agreement by imposing a greater prison term than the agreement specified; (3) abused its discretion in sentencing him to six years in prison rather than reinstating his probation; and (4) improperly imposed the probation and parole revocation fines after having imposed similar fines of $200 each at the time of his plea. As the Attorney General concedes, Adams's final argument is well taken and Court modify the judgment to reflect the imposition of two $200 fines. Court find his remaining arguments unavailing and thus affirm the judgment as so modified.
