IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SIXTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

THE PEOPLE, H052128 (Santa Clara County Plaintiff and Respondent, Super. Ct. No. C2311292)

v.

SANTIAGO CABEZAS ANDRADE,

Defendant and Appellant.

Defendant Santiago Cabezas Andrade pleaded no contest to a single count of commercial burglary. He challenges the trial court’s imposition of a “no alcohol” probation condition as unrelated to his offense. The Attorney General concedes the condition is improper and asks that it be struck from defendant’s probation terms. We will accept the Attorney General’s concession and strike the condition. I. TRIAL COURT PROCEEDINGS

The record contains few factual details regarding defendant’s offense beyond that he was involved in stealing $93,000 of merchandise from multiple Louis Vuitton stores. Defendant’s probation report indicates that the company would not seek restitution because all items were recovered. The Santa Clara County District Attorney charged defendant by complaint with two counts of grand theft of personal property having a value over $950 (Pen. Code, § 487, subd. (a)), and one count of organized retail theft occurring on two or more occasions with a value over $950 (§ 490.4, subd. (a)(1)).

As part of a negotiated disposition, the prosecution moved to amend the complaint to add a count of commercial burglary (Pen. Code § 460, subd. (b)), to which defendant entered a plea of no contest. The trial court dismissed the remaining counts on the prosecution’s motion. The plea form included a waiver stating that “all loss in excess of $10,000 is tethered to the dismissed counts per Harvey1 stipulation” and an agreement that defendant is to “stay away from all Louis Vuitton retail stores.” The trial court placed defendant on two years’ formal probation, with conditions including 179 days in jail. Based on a citation defendant received for having open beer bottles in his car when he was arrested, the prosecution requested alcohol terms be added, specifically “testing conditions, no alcohol conditions, and also to complete a program.” Responding to defendant’s objection that the open container violation was unrelated to the retail theft offense, the trial court reasoned “it’s more likely for him to be successful on probation, and given the facts regarding the alcohol here I think that’s close enough”. The court imposed a probation condition that defendant not “knowingly possess or consume alcohol or go to places where alcohol is a primary item of sale.” II. DISCUSSION
