IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION SIX

THE PEOPLE, 2d Crim. No. B341045 (Super. Ct. No. 24BBCF00056) Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County)

v.

KAREN KARANDZHANYAN,

Defendant and Appellant.

On January 17, 2024, a criminal protective order was served on Karen Karandzhanyan. The order allowed for contact with his parents but prohibited harassing, hitting, or assaulting them. On February 5, 2024, appellant went to his parents’ home. His mother gave him a plate of food, but it fell to the floor. Appellant and his mother were trying to clean up when appellant suddenly became angry and pushed her. He hit her on the head several times. A jury convicted appellant of felony violation of a court order (Pen. Code, § 166, subd. (c)(1)) and misdemeanor elder

abuse (id., § 368, subd. (c)). He received a total term of three years in prison. The court awarded 216 days of actual credit and 216 days of conduct credit, for a total of 432 days. We appointed counsel to represent appellant. Counsel examined the record and filed an opening brief requesting the court independently review the record under People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende). Counsel also sent a letter to the trial court requesting that it correct appellant’s presentence credits from 216 actual days to 217 actual days for a total of 433 days of credit. On August 27, 2025, the trial court filed an abstract of judgment making that correction. On April 21, 2025, we advised appellant by mail that he had 30 days to submit any grounds for appeal, contentions, or arguments he wished us to consider. We have received no response. Through our review of the record, we have identified a clerical error. The August 27, 2025 abstract of judgment states: “Do not own, use or possess any dangerous or deadly weapons, including any firearms, knives or other weapons.” The minute order for appellant’s sentencing contains the same language. However, at sentencing, the trial court stated appellant “cannot own, use, possess, buy or sell any firearms, ammunition, ammunition feeding devices, ammunition magazines and body armor.” The oral pronouncement of judgment controls. (Cf. People v. Leon (2020) 8 Cal.5th 831, 855.) Thus, we will direct the trial court to prepare an amended abstract of judgment and minute order that conform to its oral pronouncement regarding the firearms condition.
