P. v. Majors
Appellant Janet C. Majors was convicted on her plea of nolo contendere of a felony violation of Penal Code section 368, subdivision (d),[1] theft by noncaretaker from an elder adult. The court dismissed two charged felony violations of section 476a, subdivision (a), issuance of nonsufficient funds checks in an amount in excess of $450.
At the time of sentencing, on January 4, 2012, the court granted Major’s motion pursuant to section 17, subdivision (b) and reduced the offense to a misdemeanor.[2] The court placed Majors on formal probation for a period of three years, ordered her to serve 60 days in jail and 160 hours on a work program, awarded 3 days of actual custody credits, but no conduct credits. The court also imposed a $100 restitution fund fine, $40 court security fee, $71 jail booking fee, $30 criminal conviction assessment, and $240 per year payment for probation supervision. The court ordered restitution to the victim in the amount of $14,046.06, plus interest at 10 percent per year.
Majors filed a timely notice of appeal on January 31, 2012, challenging only the amount of restitution ordered.
