P. v. Williams
Defendant Melinda Mackli Williams appeals from a judgment entered after she pleaded no contest to two counts of commercial burglary and two counts of forgery with an understanding that the court would impose a prison sentence but suspend its execution while she was on probation. On her prior appeal, we upheld the convictions but vacated the sentence and remanded for resentencing. (People v. Williams (Apr. 29, 2011, A128781) [nonpub. opn.] (Williams I), at p. 9.)[1] At the resentencing on June 3, 2011, the court did not orally pronounce sentence, aside from setting the aggregate term of imprisonment and asking the clerk to clarify Williams’s custody credits. Nevertheless, the court’s minute order and the abstract of judgment includes the following monetary penalties: a $3,200 restitution fine, a $3,200 parole restitution fine, a $30 criminal conviction assessment, a $30 court security fee, and a $250 probation investigation fee.
On this appeal we agree with Williams that the court’s minute order and the abstract of judgment must be corrected by striking the restitution fine, the parole restitution fee, the criminal conviction assessment, and the probation investigation fee, and on remand we will direct the trial court to make the necessary corrections. We also conclude the judgment should be modified by vacating the $30 court security fee and imposing a $20 court security fee for each of Williams’ four convictions for a total of $80. In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.
