P. v. Rosa
Defendant David Joseph Rosa pled guilty to infliction of corporal injury on a cohabitant (Pen. Code, 273.5, subd. (a)) and dissuading a witness by force or threat (Pen. Code, 136.1, subd. (c)(1)). In exchange, five related counts and an enhancing allegation were dismissed. Imposition of sentence was suspended and defendant was placed on probation for 60 months on conditions including 365 days of incarceration with credit for 157 days. As a general term and condition of probation he was ordered: Do not leave the State of California. On appeal, defendant contends the imposition of a probation condition that absolutely bans interstate travel has no rational connection to his crime or future criminality and violates his constitutional rights to due process and to travel. Court shall modify the probation condition.
