P. v. Houlet
Defendant Bobbie Christine Houlet entered a negotiated no contest plea to one count of welfare fraud (Welf. and Inst. Code, 10980, subd. (c)(2)) and was placed on formal probation for five years. After she three times violated her probation, defendant was sentenced to serve 16 months in state prison, and ordered to pay various fines and fees. She contends on appeal that the trial court erred in imposing a probation revocation fine (Pen. Code, 1202.44) pursuant to a statute enacted after her offenses were committed, and that it erred by one day in calculating her custody credits. The People concede both errors. The judgment is modified to strike the probation revocation fine, and to add one additional day of actual custody time. As modified, the judgment is affirmed. The trial court shall prepare an amended abstract of judgment incorporating these changes and shall forward a certified copy to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
