IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SIXTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

THE PEOPLE,
Plaintiff and Respondent,

v. MICHAEL JAMES INFANTE,
Defendant and Appellant. H039530 (Monterey County Super. Ct. No. SS122125)

Pursuant to a negotiated agreement, defendant Michael James Infante pleaded guilty to first degree burglary (Pen. Code, § 459). The trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed defendant on probation for three years with various conditions. On appeal, defendant c ontends: (1) his probation condition that he stay away from the victims’ place of employment and vehicles is unconstitutionally vague ; and (2) the
amount of his restitution fine must be modified. We modify the stay

- away condition. As modified, the order is affirmed.

I. Statement of Facts At approximately 9:00 a.m. on November 1, 2012, Salinas police responded to a residence regarding a burglary on Alameda Avenue . An officer spoke with a contracto r who had observed cuts in a fumigation tarp on the residence. The contractor also2

reported that he then noticed a man, later identified as defendant, exit the side entrance of the residence. The defendant was carrying a box and a case. When defendant b egan running, another witness followed him. Defendant dropped the box and the case on a nearby lawn and told the witness, “I have a gun so don’t chase me.” When defendant was subsequently arrested, he was in possession of property from the Alameda Avenue
residence. A husband and wife lived at the Alameda Avenue residence. They reported that
the defendant lives “around the corner” from them and the value of the stolen items was $15,923.83.

II. Discussion
A. Stay

- Away Probati on Condition
Defendant contends that the probation condition that he stay away from the victims’ place of employment and vehicles is unconstitutionally vague

. 1 The Attorney General concedes that the condition must be modified to include a knowledge requirement.
At the sentenc ing hearing, the trial court stated: “Stay at least 100 yards away from the victims themselves, their residence, place of employment, any vehicles they own or operate.” However, the minute order, which was later signed by the trial court, states: “Stay away at least 100 y ard s from the person known to you to be the victim, the victim’s residence or place of employment, and any vehicle the victim owns or operates.”

1 Defendant also asserts that the probation condition is unconstitutionally overbroad, but does not submit any argument or citations to legal authorities on this issue. “ ‘ [ E ] very brief should contain a legal argument with citation of authorities on the points made. If none is furnished on a particular point, the court may treat it as waived, and pass it without consideration. [Citations.]’ [Citations.]” ( People v. Stanley (1995 ) 10 Cal.4th 764, 793.) Thus, we will treat this issue as forfeited

.3

“ ‘ It may be said

. . . a s a general rule that when, as in this case, the record is in

co nflict it will be harmonized if possible; but where this is not possible that part of the record will prevail, which, because of its origin and nature or otherwise, is entitled to greater credence [citation]. Therefore wh ether the recitals in the clerk’ s minutes should prevail as against contrary statements in the reporter ’ s transcript, must depend upon the
circums tances of each particular case.’ [Citations.]” ( People v. Smith (1983) 33 Cal.3d 596, 599.) Here, there is no indication that the trial court intended that the stay

- away condition in the minute order would modify its prior oral imposition of the condition. Moreover, the trial court correctly referred to “victims” rather than “victim” at the sentencing hearing. The parties also assume on appea l that the condition adopted by the trial court at the sentencing hearing is controlling. Accordingly, we will review this
condition as stated in the reporter’s transcript

. “In granting probation, courts have broad discretion to impose conditions to fost er rehabilitation and to protect public safety pursuant to Penal Code section 1203.1. [Citations.]” ( People v. Carbajal (1995) 10 Cal.4th 1114, 1120

- 1121.) However, probation conditions may be challenged on the grounds of unconstitu tional vagueness. ( P eople v. Lopez (1998) 66 Cal.App.4th 615, 630.) Although defendant failed to object on constitutional grounds to this condition, we may consider his facial, constitutional challenge because it presents purely a question of law. ( In re Sheena K. (2007) 40 Cal.4th 875, 888 ( Sheena K. ) .) Accordingly, our review of this probation condition is de

novo. ( Id. at p. 889.) In examining whether a probation condition is void for vagueness, courts have
considered whether the condition is “ ‘ sufficiently precise for the probationer to know what is required of him [or her]

. . . . ’ ” ( Sheena K. , supra , 40 Cal.4th at p. 890, quoting People v. Reinertson (1986) 178 Cal.App.3d 320, 324

- 325.) “[T]he underpinning of a vagueness challenge is the due process con cept of ‘fair warning. ’ ” ( Sheena K., at

p. 890.)4

In People v. Rodriguez (2013) 222 Cal.App.4th 578 ( Rodriguez ) , this court recently considered the constitutionality of a similar stay

- away condition. 2 Rodriguez stated: “ No reasonable law enforcement o fficer or judge can expect probationers to know
where their victims are at all times. The challenged condition does not require defendant

to stay away from all locations where the victim might conceivably be. It requires defendant to remove himself ( ‘ Stay away at least 100 yards . . . .’ ) when he knows or
learns of a victim ’ s presence. ” ( Id. at p. 594 .) Thus, this court held that the condition be
modified to state that the “ defendant not knowingly come within 100 yards of a known or
identified victim

. ” ( Id . at p. 595

. ) Since the condition assumed that there was one victim, while another condition indicated that there were two victims , the case was remanded for the trial court to resolve the ambiguity. ( Ibid. ) Rodriguez also held that the
condition did not sufficiently identify the victims, addresses or vehicles they own or operate. ( Ibid. ) Here, unlike in Rodriguez , there was no ambiguity as to the identity of the victims. Thus, we need not remand the case. However, as in Rodriguez , the challen ged condition is unconstitutionally vague and must be modified.

B. Restitution Fine
Defendant next contends that the amount of the restitution fine must be modified , because the trial court intended to impose the minimum fine which was lower when the
offense was committed. Here, defendant signed a waiver of rights form that stated in relevant part: “I understand that I will be ordered to pay a state restitution fine of not less than $200 nor more than $10,000

. . . . ” At the change of plea hearing, the trial court advised defendant

2 The stay

- away condition in Rodriguez , supra , 222 Cal.App.4th 578 stated: “Stay away at least 100 yards from the victim, the victim’s residence or place of employment, and any vehicle the victim owns or operates.” ( Id. at p. 584 .)5

that there was “a minimum restitution fine of $280 and a maximum fine of $10,000.” The probation officer’s report recommended a probati on condition that defendant “[p]ay a restitution fine of $280.00 to the State Restitution Fund. (PC 1202.4(b)).” The trial court imposed a probation condition that defendant “[p]ay a $280 restitution fine

. . . . ” Former Penal Code section 1202.4, subd ivision (b) provided in relevant part: “ In every case where a person is convicted of a crime, the court shall impose a separate and additional restitution fine, unless it finds compelling and extraordinary reasons for not doing so and states those reasons on the record. [¶] (1) The restitution fine shall be set at
the discretion of the court and commensurate with the seriousness of the offense , but
shall not be less than two hundred forty dollars ($240) starting on January 1, 2012, two hundred eighty dol lars ($280) starting on January 1, 2013, and three hundred dollars ($300) starting on January 1, 2014, and not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) , if the person is convicted of a felony

. . . . ”
W hen defendant committed the offense on November 1, 2 012, the minimum amount of the restitution fine was $240. Defendant’s sentencing hearing was held on March 6, 2013 , after the minimum amount of the fine increased to $280. Thus, defendant argues that the fine must be reduced to $240. There is no merit t o this argument. First, defendant forfeited his claim by failing to object at his sentencing hearing. ( People v. Gamache (2010) 48 Cal.4th 347, 409.) Second, “[w]ithin the range authorized by statute, the court has wide discretion in determining the amo unt” of a restitution fine. ( People v. Urbano (2005) 128 Cal.App.4th 396, 406.) Here, the trial court exercised its discretion and imposed a restitution fine within the statutory range. Accordingly, there

was no error.

III. Disposition The order gran ting probation is modified to state: “Do not knowingly come within 100 y ard s from the pe ople known to you to be the victim s , the residence or place s of6

employment that are known to you to be those of the victims , and any vehicle s that you
know are own ed or operate d by the victim s.” As modified, the order is affirmed.

I CONCUR:

______________________________ Elia, Acting P. J.Grover, J., Concurring

I concur in affirming the order granting probation, as modified in the majority opinion. I write separately regarding the restitution fund fine addressed in section II.B. of the opinion. Defendant argues that the trial court intended to impose the “minimum” restitution fine, which under Penal Code section 1202.4 would have been $240 based on
the date of defenda nt’s offense, rather than the $280 amount imposed. I agree with the majority that defendant forfeited this issue by not objecting to the amount of the fine below. I also agree that the trial court had discretion under the statute to impose a
restitution fund fine of up to $10,000. However, on this record I do not share the majority’s conclusion that the $280 fine imposed here reflects the exercise of that discretion. The amount appears to have been selected simply based on the minimum
restitution fine i n effect at the time of the sentencing hearing, rather than being the product of any deliberation. Nonetheless, in view of the forfeiture, the order as to this
issue should be affirmed.
