                   Plaintiff and Respondent,                                      (Super. Ct. No. 13F0045)

         v.

STEVEN KENNETH LINE,

                   Defendant and Appellant.

         Defendant Steven Kenneth Line pled guilty to a felony charge of failure to appear
in court and a misdemeanor charge for possession of marijuana. The trial court
suspended imposition of his sentence and placed him on three years of formal probation.
As a condition of probation, the trial court ordered defendant to serve 70 days in county
jail for failing to appear in court and 180 days for possession of marijuana. The trial

court awarded defendant 70 days of custody credit on the charge of failure to appear and
180 days of credit on the marijuana charge. At the time of sentencing, defendant’s

                                                             1
counsel indicated that she had “previously went over the sentencing report and
recommendation with [defendant].” The court said it “grants probation under the terms
and conditions recommended.” The probation report recommended a series of fines and
charges that were incorporated into an order signed by the defendant. No objections were
raised to any fines or fees at sentencing.
       On appeal, defendant claims the written probation order wrongly indicates that he
received 35 days of custody credit on the charge of failure to appear, not the 70 days he
was awarded. Defendant also claims the written order of probation lists numerous fines
and fees, none of which were orally imposed by the trial court at sentencing. Defendant
asks this court to order the trial court to correct the error regarding custody credit and
remand the matter to allow the trial court to exercise its discretion in imposing fines and
fees on defendant. The People concede both errors and agree with defendant’s proposed
resolution.
       Having reviewed the record and relevant legal authority we accept the People’s
concession as to the custody credit issue. Accordingly, we will order corrected the order
of probation. As to the imposition of fees and fines, however, we find any claim of error
forfeited due to defendant’s failure to object at the time of sentencing. (See, e.g., People
v. Scott (1994) 9 Cal. 4th 331, 354-355.) Further, we find no error since the trial court
referred to the probation report and imposed the fines and fees included therein as
“recommended,” thus incorporating by reference the probation report, which counsel had
reviewed with defendant before the sentencing hearing. (People v. Thrash (1978) 80
Cal. App. 3d 898, 901-902.)
                                       DISPOSITION
       The trial court is directed to amend the order of probation to reflect the trial
court’s award of 70 days of custody credit on the charge of failure to appear. In all other
respects the judgment (order of probation) is affirmed.
