IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT

(Yolo)

----

THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

JEREMY LEE DEATON,

Defendant and Appellant.

C073024

(Super. Ct. Nos. CRF1255 & 

CRF111393)

Appointed counsel for defendant Jeremy Lee Deaton has filed an opening brief 

that sets forth the facts of the case and asks this court to review the record and determine 

whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 

436.) We affirm the judgment, but direct correction of the abstract.

BACKGROUND

On March 17, 2011, law enforcement found defendant in possession of a used 

syringe and two plastic baggies containing .8 grams of methamphetamine. Defendant 
2

pled no contest in Yolo County case No. CRF1113931to possession of a controlled 

substance (Health & Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a)) and admitted having served two prior 

prison terms (Pen. Code,2 § 667.5). The trial court placed defendant on Proposition 36 

probation pursuant to section 1210.1. 

On September 16, 2011, a petition for violation of probation was filed. Defendant 

admitted the violation of probation and probation was reinstated.

On January 4, 2012, officers found defendant in possession of .68 grams of 

methamphetamine, a used syringe, and prescription medication. Defendant pled no 

contest in case No. CRF1255 to possession of a controlled substance (Health & Saf. 

Code, § 11377, subd. (a)) and admitted he had served a prior prison term (§ 667.5). He 

also admitted he had violated his probation in case No. CRF111393. Defendant was 

again placed on Proposition 36 probation.

On August 24, 2012, a petition for violation of probation in both cases was filed 

alleging defendant had failed to report his change of address and his whereabouts were 

unknown. Probation was summarily revoked. An additional set of petitions for violation 

of probation were filed on September 28, 2012, alleging new felony violations for 

possession of a controlled substance and possession of paraphernalia (case No. 

CRF123798), and alleging defendant had been associating with narcotics users and in 

places where narcotics were being used in violation of the conditions of his probation.

On November 26, 2012, the prosecutor dismissed case No. CRF123798 and 

defendant admitted violating his probation in case Nos. CRF111393 and CRF1255.

On January 9, 2013, the trial court sentenced defendant to three years for 

possession of a controlled substance plus one year each for the two prior prison terms in 

case No. CRF111393, and a consecutive eight months for possession of a controlled 

substance and stayed one year for the prior prison term in case No. CRF1255, for a total 

term of five years eight months, to be served locally. (§ 1170, subd. (h).)

The trial court awarded defendant 153 days of presentence custody credit in case 

No. CRF111393 and 92 days of presentence custody credit in case No. CRF1255. The 

trial court also reaffirmed previously ordered fines, fees, and penalty assessments.

Defendant appeals. He did not obtain a certificate of probable cause. (§ 1237.5.)

DISCUSSION

Appointed counsel has asked us to review the record for error. Defendant was 

advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of 

filing of the opening brief. More than 30 days elapsed, and we received no 

communication from defendant. Our review of the record discloses no arguable error in 

defendant’s favor. It does, however, reveal errors in the abstract of judgment.

First, the abstract erroneously lists restitution fines (and accompanying revocation 

fines) as $220 on each case, rather than the previously-imposed restitution fine of $200 in 

both cases. Restitution fines survive revocation of probation. (People v. Arata (2004) 

118 Cal.App.4th 195, 201-203.) The abstract should reflect the previously-imposed 

amounts.

Second, the trial court previously imposed $500 fines in both cases. The abstract 

of judgment erroneously lists each of these fines as $700 and misidentifies them as 

imposed pursuant to section 1202.5 rather than section 672.3 The abstract of judgment 

 

3

 Section 672 provides in pertinent part: “Upon a conviction for any crime punishable by 

imprisonment in any jail or prison, in relation to which no fine is herein prescribed, the 
4

should reflect the proper amounts and statutory authority.4

DISPOSITION

The judgment is affirmed. We direct the trial court to prepare a corrected abstract 

of judgment in accordance with this opinion and forward a certified copy thereof to the 

relevant authorities.

 MAURO , J.

 

court may impose a fine on the offender not exceeding . . . ten thousand dollars ($10,000) 

in cases of felonies, in addition to the imprisonment prescribed.”

 In the interest of judicial economy, we order correction of the abstract of judgment 

without having requested supplemental briefing. A party claiming to be aggrieved by this 

procedure may petition for rehearing. (Gov. Code, § 68081.)
