P. v. Valencia CA1/2
Defendant Jorge Martinez Valencia (defendant) appeals from a final judgment after his no-contest plea to transporting methamphetamine for sale and resisting an officer. He challenges two of the conditions imposed by the trial court in its order of formal probation, arguing that they are invalid under People v. Lent (1975) 15 Cal.3d 481 (Lent) and unconstitutionally overbroad. The first challenged condition requires defendant to receive prior written approval from his probation officer before leaving the state (travel condition); the second requires him to “take all medication as prescribed” (medication condition). We conclude that the travel condition is valid under Lent and within constitutional bounds, but the medication condition is not. Therefore, we will strike the medication condition and otherwise affirm the judgment and probation order.
