                   Plaintiff and Respondent,                                    (Super. Ct. Nos. CM037998,
                                                                                        SCR89226)
         v.

LARRY DEAN POTTER,

                   Defendant and Appellant.

         In case No. CM037998, defendant Larry Dean Potter entered a no contest plea to
the infliction of corporal injury upon a cohabitant in exchange for dismissal of the
remaining count. The trial court imposed the upper term of four years, suspended
execution, and granted probation subject to certain terms and conditions, including
various fees and fines.
         About two months later, defendant violated probation by being under the influence
of cocaine and alcohol. The trial court lifted the stay on execution of the previously
imposed sentence, awarded custody credit, and imposed the previously imposed fees and
fines as well as a parole revocation restitution fine.

                                                             1
       Defendant appeals. He contends that the trial court imposed certain dual fees and
fines in case No. CM037998 that must be stricken.1 The People respond that defendant is
correct if the court imposed dual fees and fines. We reject defendant’s contention.
       When the court imposed sentence, suspended execution, and granted probation,
the court imposed a $280 restitution fine, a $40 court security fee, and a $30 conviction
assessment. After defendant violated probation, the stay was lifted on his sentence. In
imposing fees and fines, the court expressly referred to the supplemental probation report
for the list of the fees and fines. The supplemental probation report indicated which fees
and fines had been “previously ordered,” including the now-challenged $280 restitution
fine, the $40 court security fee, and the $30 conviction assessment. Defense counsel,
who had reviewed the supplemental probation report, had no objection.
       In raising the issue of dual fees and fines, defendant has misread the record or
failed to read the supplemental probation report, which reflects that the now-challenged
fees and fines were “previously ordered.” The trial court did not impose a second round
of fees and fines. The trial court simply ordered defendant to pay the “previously
ordered” fees and fines defendant now challenges on appeal. The abstract of judgment
reflects just one set. Defendant’s contention is frivolous and we reject it.
                                      DISPOSITION
       The judgment is affirmed.

                                                            RAYE               , P. J.
We concur:

         ROBIE              , J.

1 Defendant does not raise any issues with respect to case No. SCR89226, a
misdemeanor violation of Vehicle Code section 23152, subdivision (a), for which
the trial court imposed a concurrent six-month term.
