IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT (Tehama) ----

THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent, C095547

v. (Super. Ct. Nos. 21CR000650, 21CR002360) DAVID EARL CLOPP,

Defendant and Appellant.

Appointed counsel for defendant David Earl Clopp asked this court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende).) Our review of the record indicates that the sentencing minute order and abstract of judgment incorrectly included an order of direct victim restitution along with fines and assessments that were not orally imposed at sentencing. We will remand for a limited resentencing and otherwise affirm the judgment. I Defendant kicked a woman’s Honda Civic, causing damage to her car that prevented her from being able to open the car door. The cost to repair the damage was

over $1,900. The People charged defendant with felony vandalism (Pen. Code, § 594)1 in case No. 21CR000650. Approximately six months later, defendant started a fire at the base of a tree. The People charged him with felony reckless burning (§ 452, subd. (c)) in case No. 21CR002360 and alleged he had a prior strike conviction (§§ 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d), 667, subds. (b)-(i)) and a prior serious felony conviction (§ 667, subd. (a)(1)). Defendant pleaded guilty to felony vandalism and recklessly burning property and admitted a prior strike conviction. He also admitted a violation of postrelease community supervision in a third case. Defendant waived his appellate rights. In accordance with the plea, the trial court sentenced defendant to the stipulated term of four years in state prison, consisting of the aggravated term of three years in case No. 21CR000650 with 229 days of presentence custody credit; a concurrent middle term of two years in case No. 21CR002360, doubled pursuant to the strike, with 228 days of presentence custody credit; and a concurrent 180 days on the violation of postconviction release supervision. The parties received copies of the probation report before sentencing and submitted on the sentencing report except as to credits. Although the probation report recommended certain fines and fees along with direct victim restitution, the trial court did not orally impose those at sentencing. Nevertheless, the minute order indicated that fines and assessments had been ordered pursuant to the probation report. And the abstract of judgment indicated that the trial court had imposed the following in both cases: a $600 restitution fine (§ 1202.4, subd. (b)), a $600 parole revocation fine (§ 1202.45), an $80 court operations assessment (§ 1465.8), a $60 conviction assessment (Gov. Code, § 70373), and a $39 crime prevention fund fine plus assessments (§ 1202.5, subd. (a)). The abstract of judgment also reflected a $1,964.60 order of direct victim restitution.
