IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

ANDREW LAWRENCE WHITE,

Defendant and Appellant.

C076189

(Super. Ct. No. CRF-11-1121)

Defendant Andrew Lawrence White appeals from a robbery conviction. He 

contends (1) the trial court prejudicially erred by admitting evidence of uncharged 

robberies; (2) there is insufficient evidence of identity to support the conviction; (3) the 

trial court prejudicially erred by permitting a police officer to provide lay opinion 

testimony; (4) even if none of these errors individually was prejudicial, their cumulative 

effect was; and (5) he is entitled to additional presentence custody credit. Because we 

find only his last contention meritorious, we will modify the judgment to award 

defendant additional presentence custody credit, and will otherwise affirm the judgment.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

Defendant was charged with robbing Abdulla and Susan Fattah on August 18, 

2008.1 (Pen. Code, §§ 211, 212.5, subd. (c).) It was further alleged defendant 

intentionally discharged a firearm in the commission of the robbery, causing great bodily 

injury. (Pen. Code, § 12022.53, subd. (d).) A jury found defendant guilty of the robbery, 

but deadlocked on the enhancement allegations. Prior to retrial, the information was 

amended to add allegations that defendant intentionally and personally discharged a 

firearm in the commission of the robbery, and that he personally used a firearm in the 

commission of the robbery. (Pen. Code, § 12022.53, subds. (b)-(c).) Following retrial, a 

separate jury found true the allegations that defendant personally used and intentionally 

and personally discharged a firearm in the commission of the robbery, but found not true 

the allegations that defendant intentionally discharged a firearm in the commission of the 

robbery, causing great bodily injury. 

August 18 Robbery

Just before 10:00 p.m., two men entered Bryte Way Market, a small neighborhood 

grocery store in West Sacramento, where owners Abdulla and Susan Fattah were 

working.2 One man wore a dark blue hooded sweatshirt and the other wore a black 

hooded sweatshirt; both wore baseball caps underneath their hoods and wore bandannas 

covering their faces. The man in the blue hooded sweatshirt carried a sawed-off shotgun 

and directed Susan to open the cash register. She complied, and the armed man reached 

across the counter and took cash from the register. Susan heard a gunshot nearby behind 

her; when she stood up, she saw blood on the floor near where her husband had been

continued to operate the market, testified at trial.

standing. Abdulla followed the robbers out of the store; when he came back inside, blood 

was dripping from a gunshot wound above his wrist. When reviewing surveillance 

footage of the incident later, Susan noticed the armed man had dark skin and what looked 

like a tattoo on his wrist. She could also tell from the assailant’s voice that he was male.

August 25 Robbery

At about 9:45 p.m., two men with masked faces entered Circle D Store in 

Sacramento. One of the men, who was holding a “big gun,” later described as a sawedoff shotgun, walked around the counter where the cash register was located, opened the 

cash register, took money from the register, directed the store employee to lie down, and 

then left. The man with the gun was wearing gloves, a dark blue hooded sweatshirt, a 

bandana covering his masked face, dark jeans, and a baseball cap. The other man was 

wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, gloves, and dark jeans. 

August 28 Robbery

Prior to closing, two men entered American Food Store, a convenience store 

associated with a gas station, located in Orangevale. One of the men jumped over the 

counter, pointed a gun at the store owner, and directed him to lie down. The armed man, 

who carried a sawed-off shotgun, then broke the phone and directed the owner to open 

the cash register. Once he did, the armed man took all the money, placed it in his 

pockets, left the store, and, as he was leaving, broke the phone of a customer who had 

entered the store during the robbery. The robber was wearing a dark blue hooded 

sweatshirt, baseball cap, blue bandana covering his face, and gloves; and the other man 

wore a black hooded sweatshirt and had a covered face.

Following the robbery, the owner of the store asked police to place a one dollar 

bill laced with a tracking device, secured in a rubber-banded stack of bills, in the cash 

drawer so that police could track the cash if another robbery occurred.

September 8 Robbery3

Prior to closing, two men entered American Food Store (the same location as the 

August 28 robbery) and approached the counter where the cash register was located. The 

men were wearing blue clothing, their faces were covered, and one of them had a gun. 

The one with the gun came around the counter, directed the store employee to lie down 

on the ground, took cash from the register, and both men left. The store owner, who was 

also present for this robbery, testified that the two men who robbed the store on 

September 8 were the same men who robbed the store on August 28: They wore the 

same clothing, were the same height, and the robbery was similar. In both instances, the 

taller man had the gun and wore gloves. 

Among the cash taken in this robbery was the cash containing the police tracking 

device that had previously been placed in the cash register. Once the device was 

removed from the cash register, police were automatically notified and began to track its 

location. Police tracked the device to a location in Sacramento, and then pursued and 

captured the suspects, including “a black male in a blue-hooded sweatshirt and black 

jeans” with a black “doo-rag” and black shoes—defendant, who had the cash with the 

tracking device and a single black glove on his person. Police escorted the store owner to 

the location, where he was able to identify defendant as the armed robber based on his 

height, build, “structure,” skin color, and clothing.

 

3 In contrast to the other three incidents, we did not receive a working copy of the 

surveillance video of the September 8 robbery, which was apparently played for the trial 

court and jury. Our efforts to obtain an alternative copy of the video from the trial court 

and the parties were unsuccessful. It is defendant’s burden on appeal to show, as he 

claims, (1) that the trial court erred in admitting this video as evidence of identity and (2) 

that there was insufficient evidence of identity. (See People v. Powell (2011) 

194 Cal.App.4th 1268, 1287; see also People v. Malabag (1997) 51 Cal.App.4th 1419, 

1427.) Because he has failed to meet this burden, we assume the video would support the 

trial court’s decision and the judgment. (See, e.g., Estate of Fain (1999) 75 Cal.App.4th 

973, 992.)

Defense Evidence

Defendant’s employer testified that defendant was at work on August 18, at a 

business located just west of Lodi. Defendant worked there full time, as a supervisor; 

within his job duties, he had daily access to cash. On August 18, defendant worked from 

8:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Defendant’s cousin (and the cousin’s friend) testified that 

defendant attended a funeral for a relative on the afternoon of August 18 in Stockton. 

Following the funeral service, defendant and his family ate at a restaurant in Stockton and 

then gathered at a park, where they remained until after 9:00 p.m. Defendant’s mother 

testified that defendant did not attend the service because he was working. She added, 

however, that defendant joined the family at the restaurant at about 3:00 p.m. and joined 

the family at the park sometime after 5:30 p.m., where he remained until between 9:30 

and 9:45 p.m. He then returned to his mother’s house in Stockton.

Retrial Evidence

Susan Fattah described that she heard a gunshot coming from the direction where 

the armed robber was; that when she looked up, there was blood on the floor where her 

husband had been before; that when she next saw her husband, his arm was hanging and 

dripping blood; the wound was “an open bloody mess”; her husband was treated at the 

hospital that night and had followup treatments thereafter. A store employee present at 

the time of the robbery saw the robber point a gun at Susan’s head; and then heard a shot, 

saw drops of blood on the floor, and then saw that Abdulla was bleeding profusely. 

Abdulla’s medical records from the night of the robbery were also presented, indicating 

that he suffered “a large soft tissue” injury to his right forearm and wrist, with remnants 

of the shotgun shot left in the arm. 

The owner of the convenience store involved in the August 28 and September 8 

robberies also recounted those events, as well as his identification of defendant as the 

armed robber. A patrol officer whose dashboard tracker system alerted to the activation 
6

of the tracking device on September 8, recounted seeing a man in dark clothing and a 

blue hooded sweatshirt leave the convenience store carrying a shotgun and blue duffel 

bag. And the officer who caught the fleeing defendant that night, testified he found the 

tracking device, a black glove, a cell phone, and the defendant’s wallet on his person. 

Defendant was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and black jeans when he was arrested 

following the September 8 robbery. 

Defendant presented evidence that he does not have tattoos on his wrists. 

Sentencing

The trial court sentenced defendant to an aggregate sentence of 32 years eight 

months in state prison: the upper term of five years for the second degree robbery of 

Abdulla, a consecutive 20 years for the intentional and personal discharge of the firearm 

in the robbery of Abdulla, an additional 10 years (stayed) for personal use of a firearm in 

the commission of the robbery of Abdulla, a consecutive one year (one-third the middle 

term) for the robbery of Susan, a consecutive six years eight months (one-third the term 

of 20 years) for the intentional and personal discharge of the firearm in the robbery of 

Susan, and an additional term of three years four months (one-third the term of 10 years) 

(stayed) for personal use of a firearm in the commission of the robbery of Susan. Based 

on its election of this as the principal case (Yolo County Super. Ct. case 

No. CRF-11-1121), the trial court resentenced defendant to an aggregate term of 16 years 

for Sacramento County case No. 08F07444, to run consecutive to his sentence in the 

instant case. The trial court additionally awarded defendant 1,139 days of credit (991 

actual days plus 148 days of presentence conduct credit) in addition to the 753 days of 
7

credit previously awarded by the Sacramento County Superior Court (655 actual plus 98 

conduct), for a total of 1,892 days.4

DISCUSSION

I. Evidence of Uncharged Robberies

Defendant challenges the trial court’s ruling permitting the introduction of 

evidence of the August 25, August 28, and September 8 robberies (“the uncharged 

robberies”) to establish that he was the perpetrator of not only those robberies but the 

August 18 robbery (the charged offense) as well. Specifically, he contends the fact that 

in each robbery two men entered a business prior to closing, with the gunman wearing a 

blue hooded sweatshirt, dark bandana, cap and gloves, is not sufficiently distinctive to 

support admission of that evidence to prove identity. He also contends the evidence was 

unduly prejudicial and time-consuming. We are not persuaded.

Prior to trial, defendant moved in limine, pursuant to Evidence Code sections 352 

and 1101,5 to exclude evidence of the uncharged robberies. The People argued the 

evidence was relevant to prove identity and common plan or scheme because video 

footage showed defendant wore jeans, a bandana and the same blue sweatshirt in each of 

the robberies; he wore gloves with a spider web design; he carried a shotgun, if a gun was 

used; phones were always destroyed; the robberies were between 9:30 and 11:30 p.m.; 

and the same codefendant was present. After viewing video footage of the robberies, the 

trial court permitted evidence of the uncharged robberies, reasoning that the charged and 

uncharged robberies involved the use of a firearm, and in each of the robberies, “the 

primary armed defendant wore a blue hooded sweatshirt, dark pants, jeans, and a mask

was awarded only 1,131 days of credit.

over his face while the robber who was not armed is smaller in physical stature. He wore 

a black sweatshirt with the hood up so his face was covered as well. [¶] In the—both the 

Yolo and Sacramento robberies the robbers took money from the cash register itself. 

They also took some merchandise, but the critical thing is taking the money out of the 

cash register.” The trial court also emphasized that the August 28 and September 8 

robberies involved the same store, and that the pattern of those robberies is “remarkably 

similar” to the August 18 robbery, and the August 25 robbery involved the same clothing 

and was “extremely similar” to the August 18, August 28, and September 8 robberies. 

Evidence of a person’s character, including uncharged acts of misconduct, is 

inadmissible to prove the conduct of that person on a specific occasion. (§ 1101, subd. 

(a).) However, such evidence is admissible to prove some material fact other than the 

person’s character, such as identity. (§ 1101, subd. (b); People v. Ewoldt (1994) 

7 Cal.4th 380, 393.) “ ‘Evidence of identity is admissible where it is conceded or 

assumed that the charged offense was committed by someone, in order to prove that the 

defendant was the perpetrator.’ [Citation.] The admissibility of other crimes evidence 

for this purpose ‘turns on proof that the [incidents] share sufficient distinctive common 

features to raise an inference of identity.’ [Citation.] We have often commented that 

‘ “[t]he pattern and characteristics of the crimes must be so unusual and distinctive as to 

be like a signature.” ’ ” (People v. Chism (2014) 58 Cal.4th 1266, 1306.) However, it is 

not necessary to prove that the charged and uncharged offenses are “identical in every 

detail.” (People v. Renchie (1963) 217 Cal.App.2d 560, 563; accord, People v. Perez 

(1967) 65 Cal.2d 615, 619.) 

Even if evidence of the uncharged acts is admissible under section 1101, it may 

still be excluded pursuant to section 352 “if its probative value is substantially 

outweighed by the probability that its admission will require undue time consumption, 

will confuse or mislead the jury, or poses a substantial risk of undue prejudice.” (People 
9

v. Bryant, Smith and Wheeler (2014) 60 Cal.4th 335, 406-407.) In this context, the word 

“prejudice” is used in the sense of “ ‘ “of ‘prejudging’ a person or cause on the basis of 

extraneous factors.” ’ ” (People v. Harris (1998) 60 Cal.App.4th 727, 737.) The term 

does not connote “the prejudice or damage to a defense that naturally flows from 

relevant, highly probative evidence. ‘[A]ll evidence which tends to prove guilt is 

prejudicial or damaging to the defendant’s case. The stronger the evidence, the more it is 

“prejudicial.” The “prejudice” referred to in . . . section 352 applies to evidence which 

uniquely tends to evoke an emotional bias against the defendant as an individual and 

which has very little effect on the issues. In applying section 352, “prejudicial” is not 

synonymous with “damaging.” ’ ” (People v. Karis (1988) 46 Cal.3d 612, 638.) In 

deciding whether evidence should be excluded pursuant to this section, “ ‘[t]he court 

must consider “ ‘the relationship between the evidence and the relevant inferences to be 

drawn from it, whether the evidence is relative to the main or only a collateral issue, and 

the necessity of the evidence to the proponent’s case as well as the reasons recited in 

section 352 for exclusion.’ ” ’ ” (People v. Houston (2005) 130 Cal.App.4th 279, 304.) 

We review the trial court’s ruling admitting the evidence under the abuse of 

discretion standard (People v. Hillhouse (2002) 27 Cal.4th 469, 496), and reverse only if 

the trial court’s ruling was “ ‘arbitrary, capricious or patently absurd’ ” and caused a 

“ ‘manifest miscarriage of justice.’ ” (People v. Rodrigues (1994) 8 Cal.4th 1060, 1124.) 

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in concluding evidence of the uncharged 

robberies was admissible to prove identity pursuant to section 1101, subdivision (b). We 

do not agree with defendant that the common elements of the crimes are so generic as to 

be indistinct. Rather, there were a number of distinctive similarities between the charged 

and uncharged crimes. There were always two perpetrators involved; the perpetrators 

wore the same clothing (masked faces, dark jeans, dark hooded sweatshirts, and gloves, 

with the armed perpetrator always wearing a bandana on his face as well) in each 
10

robbery; the same perpetrator (the taller or larger one) always carried the gun; the same 

or a similar gun (sawed-off shotgun) was used in each of the robberies; the robberies 

were always committed at approximately the same time of night (prior to closing); the 

robberies were all in the Sacramento area (Orangevale, Sacramento, and West 

Sacramento); the robbers always took cash directly from the cash register; and all the 

robberies were committed over the span of three weeks. Additionally, though there were 

some factual differences, in light of the distinctive shared features between the charged 

August 18 robbery and the uncharged August 25, August 28, and September 8 robberies, 

evidence of the circumstances surrounding the uncharged robberies supports the 

reasonable inference that the individual who committed those robberies also committed 

the August 18 robbery. Therefore, we conclude evidence related to the uncharged 

robberies was relevant to the issue of identity with regard to the August 18 robbery.

Nor did the trial court err in finding the evidence admissible under section 352. 

Identity of the perpetrator was the principal issue at trial. None of the eyewitnesses were 

able to identify the perpetrators beyond a description of their size and clothing, which is 

all that the video footage from the August 18 robbery portrayed as well. There was no 

DNA, blood, or hair evidence from the robbery, and there was no evidence that anyone 

had been found spending the money stolen from the store that night or admitting 

involvement in the robbery. There were, however, these three other robberies that were 

committed soon after the August 18 robbery in the same general geographic area, and 

that involved substantially similar facts: same time of night, same number of 

perpetrators; same distinctive clothing on perpetrators; same type of gun used; same 

method of stealing cash from the register. Nor was the evidence of the uncharged 

robberies any more inflammatory than the evidence concerning the charged offense, 

which is the only robbery in which the gun was actually fired and a victim injured. 
11

Since we find there was no error in admitting evidence of the uncharged robberies, 

we do not reach defendant’s contentions that the erroneous admission of this evidence 

was prejudicial and violated his due process rights. (See People v. Kraft (2000) 

23 Cal.4th 978, 1035 [application of the ordinary rules of evidence generally does not 

impermissibly infringe on a defendant’s constitutional rights]). 

II. Insufficient Evidence of Identity

Defendant contends there was insufficient evidence of identity to support the 

jury’s verdicts. This argument is essentially a reiteration of defendant’s argument 

regarding the admission of the evidence of the uncharged acts: He asserts the details in 

all the robberies are “common, not unusual or distinctive” and thus do not provide 

substantial evidence that defendant committed the charged act. We are not persuaded. 

“On appeal, the test of legal sufficiency is whether there is substantial evidence, 

i.e., evidence from which a reasonable trier of fact could conclude that the prosecution 

sustained its burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. [Citations.] Evidence meeting 

this standard satisfies constitutional due process and reliability concerns. [Citations.] [¶] 

While the appellate court must determine that the supporting evidence is reasonable, 

inherently credible, and of solid value, the court must review the evidence in the light 

most favorable to the [judgment], and must presume every fact the jury could reasonably 

have deduced from the evidence. [Citations.] Issues of witness credibility are for the 

jury.” (People v. Boyer (2006) 38 Cal.4th 412, 479-480.) For us to set aside the jury’s 

finding that defendant was guilty of the August 18 robbery, “the evidence of identity 

must be so weak as to constitute practically no evidence at all.” (People v. Lindsay 

(1964) 227 Cal.App.2d 482, 493.) The defendant’s identity may be proved by 

“peculiarities of size, appearance, similarity of voice, features or clothing.” (Id. at 

p. 494.) “Further, if the record contains substantial evidence from which a reasonable 

trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime proved beyond a 
12

reasonable doubt ‘the possibility that the trier of fact might reasonably have reached a 

different conclusion does not warrant reversal.’ ” (People v. Sullivan (2007) 

151 Cal.App.4th 524, 564.) 

Here, the evidence, including the video footage viewed by the jury and testimony 

by victims of the charged and uncharged robberies, showed that at approximately the 

same time of night (just prior to closing) over the course of less than a month, two men 

(of the same build and wearing very similar distinctive clothing) entered small retail 

establishments (a small grocery store and different convenience stores) in the greater 

Sacramento area, the same one man carried the same type of gun (a sawed-off shotgun), 

he demanded the store employee open the cash register, he took cash directly from the 

register, and the men left. Evidence also showed that defendant was found shortly after 

the September 8 robbery in possession of a tracking device stolen during that robbery, 

was wearing the same clothing as the man who perpetrated the robbery, and was the same 

build as the man who perpetrated the robbery. This is substantial evidence that defendant 

was the perpetrator who committed the August 18 robbery as well. 

III. Improper Lay Opinion

Defendant contends that Sacramento County Sheriff’s Detective Paul Biondi’s 

testimony that the surveillance videos depicted the same or similar shotgun was improper 

lay testimony. He argues that because the detective had never seen the actual shotgun 

involved and did not relay anything specific to this gun as opposed to other sawed-off 

shotguns, his testimony was not helpful to the jurors. We disagree. 

“ ‘ “Lay opinion testimony is admissible where no particular scientific knowledge 

is required, or as ‘a matter of practical necessity when the matters . . . observed are too 

complex or too subtle to enable [the witness] accurately to convey them to court or jury 

in any other manner.’ ” ’ ” (People v. Chapple (2006) 138 Cal.App.4th 540, 547.) The 

opinion must be rationally based on the witness’s perception and helpful to a clear 
13

understanding of the witness’s testimony. (§ 800.) By its nature, “the subject matter of 

lay opinion is ‘one of such common knowledge that men of ordinary education could 

reach a conclusion as intelligently as the witness.’ ” (Chapple, at p. 547.) For instance, 

lay opinion testimony that someone is intoxicated, angry, or driving a motor vehicle at an 

excessive speed, may be a more convenient or accurate means to convey that information 

to a jury than providing a detailed recitation of the underlying facts. (Ibid.) We review 

the trial court’s evidentiary rulings for abuse of discretion. (People v. Cowan (2010) 

50 Cal.4th 401, 462.) 

Here, over defendant’s objection, the trial court permitted Detective Biondi to 

provide the following lay opinion testimony. Biondi testified that he reviewed the video 

from the September 8 robbery, and that in the video he saw an individual with a gun, 

which he described as a shotgun with “a full stock, a brown fore grip, like a wood fore 

grip, and it appeared that the front barrel had been sawed off.” Biondi further testified 

that the gun he saw carried in the video from the August 28 robbery appeared to him to 

be the same shotgun, and that the video from the August 25 robbery appeared to show 

“the same individual carrying the same shotgun.” Finally, he testified the shotgun 

appearing in the footage from the August 18 robbery appeared to him to be similar to the 

shotgun in the videos from the August 25, August 28, and September 8 robberies. He 

came to that opinion because it appeared to him that the gun used in the August 18 

robbery and the other robberies had the same size barrel, had the same length barrel, and 

were the same type of shotgun. The gun itself was never recovered. 

A lay person is permitted to provide opinion testimony identifying a weapon. 

(People v. Hines (1997) 15 Cal.4th 997, 1058.) Here, by describing the nuanced details 

of the shotgun he observed in the video of the September 8 robbery, Detective Biondi 

was able to highlight identifying features of the weapon that another lay person readily 

could but may not observe. Thus, Biondi’s identification of the firearm in the September 
14

8 robbery was proper lay opinion testimony. Moreover, his subsequent testimony that it 

looked like the same gun was used in the August 18, August 25, and August 28 robberies 

based on his review of the video and photographs from those crimes, was properly 

permitted as lay opinion testimony. (See People v. Maglaya (2003) 112 Cal.App.4th 

1604, 1608-1609 [officer can properly provide lay opinion testimony that shoeprints from 

crime scene and the pattern on soles of the defendant’s shoes are similar].) The basis and 

extent of Biondi’s knowledge went to the weight of his testimony and was for the jury to 

decide. (See People v. Prince (2007) 40 Cal.4th 1179, 1229; People v. Medina (1990) 

51 Cal.3d 870, 887.) The jury was so instructed. Therefore, the trial court did not abuse 

its discretion in permitting Biondi to testify regarding his perception that the weapons 

used in each robbery were similar. 

IV. Cumulative Error

Defendant contends the combined prejudice that resulted from the erroneous 

admission of the evidence of the uncharged crimes and Detective Biondi’s lay opinion 

requires reversal. Having found no error, we conclude there was no cumulative prejudice 

meriting reversal. (E.g., People v. Dement (2011) 53 Cal.4th 1, 58; People v. McWhorter

(2009) 47 Cal.4th 318, 377.) 

V. Calculation of Credits

As noted above, the trial court awarded defendant 1,892 days of credit when it 

sentenced him in the instant case. It calculated this amount by taking the credits awarded 

by Sacramento County in case No. 08F07444 (753 days) and adding actual and conduct 

credit for the period following defendant’s transfer to Yolo County, which the trial court 

calculated at 1,139 days (991 days of actual time plus 148 days of conduct credit). 

Defendant contends, and the People agree, he is entitled to additional presentence custody 

credit. We concur. 
15

When the trial court sentenced defendant in this case and resentenced him on the 

Sacramento County case, defendant was entitled to actual time credit for the time he had 

already served in the Sacramento County case, i.e., following his conviction in that case 

and prior to resentencing. (Pen. Code, § 2900.1; People v. Buckhalter (2001) 26 Cal.4th 

20, 37.) He was also entitled to actual time and conduct credit for the time he served in 

jail prior to the trial on the Sacramento County case. (People v. Phoenix (2014) 

231 Cal.App.4th 1119, 1126.) 

Defendant was in presentence custody on the Sacramento County case from 

September 9, 2008, until sentencing on June 25, 2010; he is entitled to 655 days of actual 

time credit and 98 days of conduct credit for this period. (Pen. Code, § 2933.1.) He was 

then in state prison from June 25, 2010, until July 12, 2011, and in Yolo County jail from 

July 12, 2011, until sentencing in this case on March 28, 2014; for this period, he is 

entitled to 1,373 days of actual credit but no conduct credit. Therefore, defendant is 

entitled to a total of 2,126 days of credit (98 days of conduct credit and 2,028 days of 

actual time credit). 

DISPOSITION

The judgment is modified to award defendant 2,126 days of credit (2,028 days of 

actual time credit and 98 days of conduct credit). As modified, the judgment is affirmed. 

The clerk of the trial court is directed to prepare an amended abstract of judgment 
16

reflecting the modified award of credits, and to forward a certified copy of the same to 

the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
