                                    INTRODUCTION
       Appellant and defendant Lucas Pete Mitchell pleaded no contest pursuant to
negotiated dispositions in two separate cases. The instant case involved unlawful contact
with a minor victim with intent to commit a sexual offense, and the second case was
based on the sexual molestation of another minor victim for nearly two years. Defendant
was sentenced to an aggregate term of seven years four months in prison. He has filed
separate notices of appeal.
       In his appeal in this case, involving unlawful contact with a minor, defendant
contends his defense attorney was prejudicially ineffective for failing to raise an ability to
pay objection when the court ordered him to pay a restitution fine and other fees, as set
forth in People v. Dueñas (2019) 30 Cal.App.5th 1157 (Dueñas). In addition, we
requested further briefing from the parties on whether remand is required to clarify the
court’s intent to impose an order prohibiting contact between defendant and the minor
victim in this case.
       As will be explained, we remand the matter for such clarification and correction of
the record and otherwise affirm.
                  FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
Case No. PCF3805271
       This appeal is from defendant’s conviction in case No. PCF380427, which began
on September 1, 2017, when Officer Kirk of the Porterville Police Department met with
15-year-old D.R., who reported that about one month earlier, defendant contacted him on
Facebook and proposed that they engage in sexual acts. The victim stated he did not
previously know defendant, but they had mutual friends on Facebook. The victim

       1 The facts for case No. PCF380527 are from the preliminary hearing, which the
parties stipulated to as the factual basis for defendant’s plea in the case.

                                              2.
deleted his Facebook page because defendant’s messages were inappropriate and made
him feel uncomfortable; he created a new Facebook page.
       The victim stated that on August 31, 2017, defendant contacted him on his new
Facebook page, and asked how old he was. The victim replied that he was 15 years old.
Defendant said he was 23 years old and proposed that they should engage in various
sexual acts and possibly invite another minor to join them. The victim decided to report
the matter to the police.
       Officer Kirk determined defendant was 23 years old and lived in Strathmore.
       The charges
       On June 17, 2019, the information was filed in case No. PCF380527, charging
defendant with count 1, unlawfully and knowingly contacting a minor, D.R., with the
intent to commit a sexual offense, on or about August 31, 2017, and that conviction of the
offense would require him to register as a sex offender (§ 290).
Case No. PCF3765342
       Defendant’s second case began on February 14, 2019, when officers from the
Porterville Police Department met with 15-year-old C.C., who reported that defendant
(born 1993) sexually molested him for nearly two years. The victim said that he was
between 13 and 14 years old when defendant initially contacted him on Facebook and
made sexual overtures toward him. The victim said he was 14 years old when he first
met defendant in 2017, and defendant drove him to an orchard, locked the car doors, and
forced him to perform acts of oral copulation and sodomy. The victim said he met with
defendant at least 15 to 20 times from 2017 to 2019, and they engaged in acts of oral

       2 We take judicial notice of the appellate record before this court in People v.
Lucas Mitchell, F080741, which is defendant’s appeal from the judgment in case
No. PCF376534. The facts for this case are from the preliminary hearing, which the
parties stipulated to as the factual basis for his plea.

                                             3.
copulation and sodomy “every time.” Defendant once said that he wished they met and
had sex when the victim was 10 years old.
       The charges
       On March 14, 2019, the information was filed in case No. PCF376534, charging
defendant with committing the following offenses against C.C., on or about and between
April 20, 2017, and February 14, 2019: counts 1 through 6, sodomy of a person under 16
years by a person over the age of 21 years (Pen. Code, § 286, subd. (b)(2));3 counts 7
through 12, oral copulation of a person under 16 years by a person over 21 years (§ 288a,
subd. (b)(2)); counts 13 through 18, unlawful sexual conduct of a minor under 16 years
by a person over 21 years (§ 261.5, subd. (d)); count 19, unlawfully and knowingly
contacting a minor with the intent to commit a sexual offense (§ 288.3, subd. (a)); and
count 20, meeting a person known to be a minor to engage in engage in lewd and
lascivious behavior (§ 288.4, subd. (b)).
       It was further alleged as to count 1 through 12 and 18 through 19, that defendant
would be required to register as a sex offender (§ 290).
                                   PLEA PROCEEDINGS
       On August 15, 2019, defendant entered into a negotiated disposition as to both
cases Nos. PCF380527 and PCF376534, for an aggregate indicated sentence of seven
years four months.
       First, the court granted the prosecution’s motion to amend counts 7 and 10 in case
No. PCF376534, to allege violations of section 287, subdivision (b)(2), oral copulation of
a person under 16 years by a person over 21 years, committed against C.C.4

       3   All further statutory citations are to the Penal Code unless otherwise indicated.
       4 Effective January 1, 2019, section 288a, subdivision (b)(2) was amended without
substantive change and renumbered as section 287, subdivision (b)(2). (People v. Sexton
(2019) 37 Cal.App.5th 457, 463, fn. 3.)

                                               4.
       In case No. PCF376534, defendant pleaded no contest to committing the following
offenses against C.C. on or about and between April 20, 2017, and February 14, 2019:
counts 1, 2, and 4, sodomy of a person under the age of 16 years (§ 286, subd. (b)(2));
counts 7 and 10, sodomy of a person under the age of 16 years (§ 287, subd. (b)(2));
counts 13 and 16, unlawful sexual intercourse (§ 261.5, subd. (d)); count 19, unlawfully
and knowingly contacting with a minor with intent to commit a sexual offense (§ 288.3,
subd. (a)); and count 20, meeting a minor for a lewd purpose (§ 288.4, subd. (b)), with
mandatory registration as a sex offender and dismissal of the remaining charges, for an
indicated sentence of seven years four months.
       In case No. PCF380527, defendant pleaded no contest to the charged offense in
count 1, unlawfully and knowingly contacting a minor, D.R., with the intent to commit a
sexual offense (§ 288.3, subd. (a)), for an indicated term of 18 months to be served
concurrently with the term imposed in case No. PCF376534, with mandatory registration
as a sex offender.
       On September 13, 2019, defendant moved to withdraw his pleas in both cases and
claimed he did not validly waive his constitutional rights because he was under the
influence of medication. On November 7, 2019, the court conducted an evidentiary
hearing and denied the motion.
                              SENTENCING HEARING
       On December 10, 2019, the court conducted the sentencing hearing for both cases
Nos. PCF376534 and PCR380537.
       In case No. PCF376534, the sexual molestation of C.C., the court imposed the
indicated term of seven years four months based on the upper term of four years for
count 13; consecutive terms of one year (one-third the midterm) for each of counts 16
and 20; and consecutive terms of eight months (one-third the midterm) for each of
counts 2 and 7; with concurrent terms for the remaining counts 1, 4, 10 and 19.

                                            5.
       Also, in case No. PCF376534, the court ordered defendant to register as a sex
offender (§ 290). The court imposed a restitution fine of $10,000 (§ 1202.4, subd. (b))
and suspended the parole revocation fine of $10,000 (§ 1202.45), with victim restitution
to remain open. It also imposed a fine of $1,000 pursuant to section 294, subdivision (b);
court operations assessments of $360 (§ 1465.8; $40 per conviction); and criminal
conviction assessments of $270 (Gov. Code, § 70373; $30 per conviction). As we will
discuss in issue II, post, the court imposed both a protective order and a stay-away order
that prohibited defendant from having contact with C.C.
       In the instant case No. PCF380527, concerning D.R., the court imposed a
concurrent term of 18 months (§ 288.3, subd. (a)). The court imposed a restitution fine of
$300 (§ 1202.4, subd. (b)) and suspended the parole revocation fine of $300 (§ 1202.45),
with victim restitution to remain open. The court imposed a court operations assessment
of $40 (§ 1465.8) and a criminal conviction assessment of $30 (Gov. Code, § 70373). As
we will also discuss in issue II, post, the court appeared to impose a stay-away order
prohibiting contact between defendant and D.R., but there is no mention of it in the
minute order, abstract of judgment, or anywhere in the record.
       On February 6, 2020, defendant filed separate notices of appeal in cases
Nos. PCF380527 (F0380746) and PCF376534 (F080741) and requested and received
certificates of probable cause in both cases.
                                       DISCUSSION
I.     The Restitution Fine and Fees
       Defendant contends his defense attorney was prejudicially ineffective for failing to
object to the court’s imposition of the $300 restitution fine and the fees in case
No. PCF380527, without determining his ability to pay those amounts. Defendant notes
the opinion in Dueñas was filed in January 2019, 11 months before the sentencing
hearing in this case, and asserts counsel did not have a tactical reason for not raising the
issue and arguing he lacked the ability to pay. (Dueñas, supra, 30 Cal.App.5th 1157.)

                                                6.
Defendant argues counsel’s error was prejudicial because counsel knew he had limited
funds and lacked earning capacity, he was represented by appointed counsel, the
probation report did not have any information about his employment prospects or
income, and the court could not rely on any speculative ability to earn prison wages to
impose these orders.5
       “To show ineffective assistance, defendant must show that ‘counsel’s performance
was deficient, and that the defendant was prejudiced, that is, there is a reasonable
probability the outcome would have been different were it not for the deficient
performance.’ [Citations.] ‘A reasonable probability is a probability sufficient to
undermine confidence in the outcome.’ [Citation.]” (People v. Woodruff (2018) 5
Cal.5th 697, 761–762.)
       As to the basis for defendant’s ineffective assistance claim, Dueñas held that “due
process of law requires the trial court to conduct an ability to pay hearing and ascertain a
defendant’s present ability to pay” before it imposes any fines or fees. (Dueñas, supra,
30 Cal.App.5th at pp. 1164, 1167.)6
       We disagree with the holding in Dueñas. As explained in People v. Aviles (2019)
39 Cal.App.5th 1055 (Aviles), we believe Dueñas was wrongly decided and an Eighth
Amendment analysis is more appropriate to determine whether restitution fines, fees, and
assessments in a particular case are grossly disproportionate and thus excessive. (Aviles,
at pp. 1068–1072.) Under that standard, the fines and fees imposed in this case are not

       5  To the extent defendant attempts to include the court’s imposition of the $10,000
restitution fine and other fees in case No. PCF376534 in his ineffective assistance
argument, we decline to address that issue since defendant filed a separate appeal in that
case (F080741), where he has also raised an ineffective assistance claim based on his
attorney’s failure to object to the amounts imposed under Dueñas.
       6The California Supreme Court is currently considering whether trial courts must
consider a defendant’s ability to pay before imposing or executing fines, fees, and
assessments; and if so, which party bears the applicable burden of proof. (See People v.
Kopp (2019) 38 Cal.App.5th 47, 94–98, review granted Nov. 13, 2019, S257844.)

                                             7.
grossly disproportionate to defendant’s level of culpability and thus not excessive under
the Eighth Amendment. (Aviles, at p. 1072.)
       Even if we agreed with Dueñas, defense counsel’s failure to object based on that
ruling was not prejudicial because defendant has the ability to pay the fines, fees, and
assessments over the course of his prison sentence. (Aviles, supra, 39 Cal.App.5th at
pp. 1075–1077.) “ ‘ “Ability to pay does not necessarily require existing employment or
cash on hand.” [Citation.] “[I]n determining whether a defendant has the ability to pay a
restitution fine, the court is not limited to considering a defendant’s present ability but
may consider a defendant's ability to pay in the future.” [Citation.] This include[s] the
defendant’s ability to obtain prison wages and to earn money after his release from
custody. [Citation.]’ [Citations.]” (Aviles, supra, 39 Cal.App.5th at p. 1076.)
       We can infer from the instant record that defendant has the ability to pay the
aggregate amount of fines and fees from probable future wages, including prison wages.
(Aviles, supra, 39 Cal.App.5th at p. 1076; People v. Douglas (1995) 39 Cal.App.4th
1385, 1397; People v. Ellis (2019) 31 Cal.App.5th 1090, 1094.) In addition, there is
nothing in the record to show that defendant would be unable to satisfy the fine and fees
imposed by the court while serving his prison term, even if he fails to obtain a prison job.
While it may take defendant some time to pay the amounts imposed in this case, that
circumstance does not support his inability to make payments on these amounts from
either prison wages or monetary gifts from family and friends during his prison sentence.
(See, e.g., People v. Potts (2019) 6 Cal.5th 1012, 1055–1057; People v. Lewis (2009) 46
Cal.4th 1255, 1321; People v. DeFrance (2008) 167 Cal.App.4th 486, 505.)
       While defendant was represented by appointed counsel at trial, and not ordered to
repay the costs of his representation, the absence of such an order does not address the
same issues raised by his ability to pay the restitution fine and fees imposed in this case.
Section 987.8 states that a court may order a defendant to reimburse the government for
the costs of court-appointed counsel if the defendant has the ability to repay such amount.

                                              8.
(§ 987.8, subds. (b), (c)(1).) “[T]here is ‘a presumption under the statute that a defendant
sentenced to prison does not have the ability to reimburse defense costs.’ [Citation.] To
rebut this presumption, there must be ‘unusual circumstances.’ [Citation.] And the court
‘must make an express finding of unusual circumstances before ordering a state prisoner
to reimburse his or her attorney.’ [Citations.]” (People v. Rodriguez (2019) 34
Cal.App.5th 641, 646.)
       Section 987.8 carries a specific statutory presumption that a defendant sentenced
to more than one year in prison or county jail does not have the ability to reimburse
defense costs. Such a statutory presumption does not apply to whether he had the ability
to pay the statutorily mandated restitution fine and fees. (§ 987.8, subd. (g)(2)(B); Aviles,
supra, 39 Cal.App.5th at pp. 1074–1075; People v. Rodriguez, supra, 34 Cal.App.5th at
p. 646.)
       We thus conclude that based on the record before this court, defendant has the
ability to pay the fines and fees, and counsel’s failure to object was not prejudicial.
II.    The Protective Orders
       We requested further briefing from the parties as to whether remand is appropriate
for the court to address inconsistencies between the reporter’s transcript and the minute
orders for the joint sentencing hearing held in defendant’s two cases, and whether the
court intended to impose an order to prohibit contact between defendant and the minor
victim in this case.
       As we will explain, our review of the record in both cases indicates that remand is
appropriate to clarify the court’s intent to impose such an order in this case. Defendant
and Respondent agree that remand is appropriate.
       A.     Case No. PCF376534 – the Pretrial Protective Order as to C.C.
       On February 19, 2019, the felony complaint was filed in case No. PCF376534,
charging defendant with 21 counts for the sexual molestation of C.C., and that conviction

                                              9.
would require him to register as a sex offender (§ 290). On the same day, defendant
appeared for the arraignment and pleaded not guilty.
       At the same hearing, the court issued and personally served defendant with a
criminal protective order in case No. PCF376534 pursuant to section 136.2, that
prohibited him from having any personal, electronic, telephonic, or written contact with
C.C., or through a third party, or come within 50 yards of him; and that C.C. may record
any prohibited communications made by defendant.
       The protective order had a space for specifying the expiration date, as follows:
“This order expires on (date): _____________. If no date is listed, this order expires
three years from the date of issuance.” No date was inserted into the designated space.
       B.     Case No. PCF380527
       On May 22, 2019, the felony complaint was filed in case No. PCF380527,
charging defendant with count 1, unlawfully and knowingly contacting a minor, D.R.,
with the intent to commit a sexual offense, on or about August 31, 2017 (§ 288.3,
subd. (a)), and that conviction would require him to register as a sex offender (§ 290).
       On May 24, 2019, defendant was arraigned and pleaded not guilty in case
No. PCF380527 and remanded into custody. The minute order contains the notation:
“Court does not issue CPO,” indicating that a pretrial criminal protective order was not
issued to prohibit contact between defendant and the minor victim D.R.
       C.     Plea Proceedings
       As explained above, on August 15, 2019, defendant entered into a negotiated
disposition in both cases. He pleaded no contest to nine counts in case No. PCF376534,
concerning C.C., and one count in case No. PCF380527, concerning D.R., for an
indicated aggregate term of seven years four months in prison. The court advised
defendant that he would be required to register as a sexual offender in both cases
pursuant to section 290.

                                            10.
       D.     Probation Report
       One probation report was prepared for both cases Nos. PCF376534 and
PCF380527. In addition to calculating the prison term, the probation report
recommended that in case No. PCF376534, based on C.C., the court should impose the
following orders: “The defendant is prohibited from visiting any child victim(s) under 18
years of age pursuant to Section 1202.05 of the Penal Code,” and “[t]he defendant have
no further contact with the victim, in person, in writing, by telephone or by Internet.”
(Italics added.)
       As to the instant case No. PCF380527, where defendant was convicted of one
count involving D.R., the same probation report separately recommended the court
impose the following order: “The defendant have no further contact with the victim, in
person, in writing, by telephone or by Internet.”
       E.     Sentencing Hearing
       As noted above, on December 10, 2019, the court conducted one sentencing
hearing for both cases Nos. PCF376534 and PCR380537, and imposed the aggregate
indicated term of seven years four months in prison.
       In addition to the sentence, the court orally stated that in case No. PCF376534, the
sexual molestation of C.C., defendant was required to register as a sex offender (§ 290),
and he was “prohibited from visiting any persons under the age of 18, pursuant to section
1202.05 of the Penal Code,” and “[h]ave no further contact with the victim, in person, in
writing, by telephone or by Internet.” (Italics added.)
       In case No. PCF380527, the conviction based on D.R., the court imposed the
concurrent term of 18 months, and orally said: “Same registration requirement. Same
stay away orders,” without stating further details.
       At the conclusion of the hearing, the clerk advised the court that there was “an
active CPO” in case No. PCF376534, referring to the pretrial order prohibiting contact

                                            11.
between defendant and C.C. The court ordered: “The CPO will be reissued under the
previous terms and conditions.”
       Defendant did not object to the protective and stay-away orders.
       F.     The Minute Orders and Abstract of Judgment
       The minute order and abstract of judgment for the December 10, 2019, sentencing
hearing in case No. PCF380527, the conviction involving on D.R., does not have any
reference or notation to show that the court imposed any protective or stay-away orders
as to that victim, and the record does not contain any such order.
       The minute order for the sentencing hearing for case No. PCF376534, the sexual
molestation of C.C., states the court issued the following orders: “The defendant is
prohibited from visiting any child victim(s) under 18 years of age pursuant to Section
1202.05 of the Penal Code,” and separately, that “[t]he defendant have no further contact
with the victim, in person, in writing, by telephone or by Internet.”
       The minute order for case No. PCF376534 further states that a protective order
was “reissued for the term of probation” under section 136.2, subdivision (i)(1), and a
copy of the protective order was served on defendant during the sentencing hearing.
       The abstract of judgment does not contain any reference to these orders in case
No. PCF376534.
       G.     The Postjudgment Protective Order
       The appellate record in case No. PCF376534, the sexual molestation of C.C.,
contains a criminal protective order filed on December 10, 2019, that is virtually identical
to the pretrial order issued in the case.
       The order stated it was issued pursuant to section 136.2, subdivision (i)(1), and
that defendant was personally served with the order. The order prohibited defendant
from having any personal, electronic, telephonic, or written contact with C.C., or through
a third party, or come within 50 yards of him; and that C.C. may record any prohibited
communications made by defendant.

                                            12.
       As with the pretrial order, the postjudgment order issued at the sentencing hearing
again had a space for specifying the expiration date, as follows: “This order expires on
(date): _____________. If no date is listed, this order expires three years from the date of
issuance.” There was no date listed in the designated space.
       H.     Analysis
       When the court imposed the concurrent prison term for case No. PCF380527, the
conviction concerning D.R., it expressly stated that it was also imposing the “[s]ame stay
away orders” to prohibit contact between defendant and D.R., that it had already imposed
in the other case that prohibited contact between defendant and C.C., but it failed to state
further details. The minute order is silent on the topic and there is no protective order in
the record. The probation report, however, recommended the court order defendant to
have “no further contact with the victim [D.R.], in person, in writing, by telephone or by
Internet.”
       In case No. PCF376534 involving C.C., the court relied on section 1202.05 and
section 136.2, subdivision (i)(1) to impose orders that prohibited contact between
defendant and C.C. We must examine these two statutes to determine if the court’s
reference to imposing the “[s]ame stay away orders” in case No. PCF380527 would apply
to defendant’s conviction for violating section 288.3 as to D.R.
              1.     Section 1202.05
       Section 1202.05, subdivision (a) states: “Whenever a person is sentenced to the
state prison on or after January 1, 1993, for violating Section 261, 264.1, 266c, 285,
286, 287, 288, 288.5, or 289, or former Section 288a, and the victim of one or more of
those offenses is a child under the age of 18 years, the court shall prohibit all visitation
between the defendant and the child victim….” (Italics added.) Section 1202.05’s
prohibition necessarily ends when the victim attains the age of 18 years. (People v. Scott
(2012) 203 Cal.App.4th 1303, 1323.)

                                             13.
       In case No. PCF376534, the probation report recommended imposition of an order
pursuant to section 1202.05 to prohibit visitation between defendant and C.C. Section
1202.05 applied in that case based on defendant’s convictions for violating sections 286
and 287. The record suggests the court intended to impose such an order in that case.
However, section 1202.05 prohibits visitation between a defendant and a victim, when
the victim “is a child under the age of 18 years.” At the sentencing hearing, however, the
court erroneously stated that defendant was prohibited from visiting “any persons under
the age of 18” pursuant to section 1202.05.7
       In any event, while section 1202.05 applied to defendant’s convictions as to C.C.,
it would not apply to defendant’s conviction in case No. PCF380527 as to D.R, for
violating section 288.3, subdivision (a). D.R. was 15 years old when defendant contacted
him, and clearly within the age provisions of section 1202.05. However, a violation of
section 288.3 is not one of the enumerated statutes that fall within the visitation
prohibition stated in section 1202.05. Thus, an order prohibiting visitation between
defendant and D.R. cannot be imposed based on section 1202.05.
              2.     Section 136.2, Subdivision (i)(1)
       Section 136.2, subdivision (i)(1) states:

       “When a criminal defendant has been convicted of a crime involving
       domestic violence as defined in Section 13700 or in Section 6211 of the
       Family Code, a violation of subdivision (a) of Section 236.1, Section 261,
       261.5, 262, subdivision (a) of Section 266h, or subdivision (a) of Section
       266i, a violation of Section 186.22, or a crime that requires the defendant
       to register pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 290, the court, at the time
       of sentencing, shall consider issuing an order restraining the defendant from
       any contact with a victim of the crime. The order may be valid for up to 10
       years, as determined by the court. This protective order may be issued by

       7 In People v. Lucas Pete Mitchell, F080741, defendant’s appeal from case
No. PCF376534, we are separately remanding the matter to the trial court to clarify the
nature of the orders prohibiting contact between defendant and C.C., and correct the
abstract of judgment on two other issues.

       the court regardless of whether the defendant is sentenced to the state
       prison or a county jail or subject to mandatory supervision, or whether
       imposition of sentence is suspended and the defendant is placed on
       probation. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this subdivision that
       the duration of a restraining order issued by the court be based upon the
       seriousness of the facts before the court, the probability of future violations,
       and the safety of a victim and the victim’s immediate family.” (Italics
       added.)
       In case No. PCF376534 involving C.C., the court issued an order prohibiting
defendant from having “further contact with the victim, in person, in writing, by
telephone or by Internet,” as recommended in the probation report, and the record
contains the postjudgment criminal protective order issued under section 136.2,
subdivision (i)(1). The court had the authority to impose the protective order under this
statute since defendant was convicted of violating section 261.5 as to C.C., and was also
subject to mandatory registration as a sex offender pursuant to section 290,
subdivision (c).
       As to the instant case involving D.R., the court did not have authority to impose a
protective order under section 136.2, subdivision (i)(1) based on defendant’s conviction
for violating section 288.3, since that violation is not contained within the statute’s list of
enumerated violations. However, section 136.2 also permits the court to impose a
protective order in cases where the defendant is convicted of a sexual offense and subject
to mandatory registration as a sex offender pursuant to section 290, subdivision (c).
Defendant was subject to mandatory registration based on his conviction for violating
section 288.3, and the court ordered him to register. In contrast to the companion case,
however, there is no notation or protective order in the record corresponding to the
court’s oral pronouncement of judgment.
       I.     Conclusion
       Based on the court’s apparent intent to impose the “[s]ame stay away orders”
between defendant and D.R. that it imposed between defendant and C.C., and the absence
of any such order in the record, we remand this matter for the court to address and clarify

its intent in case No. PCF380527, and, if the court imposes such an order, to correct the
record, including the minute order and abstract of judgment as necessary.
III.   Correction of Abstract of Judgment
       Defendant contends, and the People agree, that the abstract of judgment filed on
December 10, 2019, as to the sentence imposed in both cases Nos. PCF380527 and
PCF376534, must be corrected.
       The parties agree the court imposed a concurrent term of 18 months in case
No. PCF380527, and there is a parenthesis around that sentence in the abstract of
judgment. They also agree the abstract must be corrected to add a check mark at part 1 to
indicate the 18-month sentence imposed for “count 1B” for defendant’s violation of
section 288.3, subdivision (a) in case No. PCF380527, was “concurrent” to the sentence
imposed for his convictions in case No. PCF376534.
       On remand, the court shall correct the abstract of judgment accordingly.
                                      DISPOSITION
       On our own motion, we take judicial notice of the appellate record before this
court in People v. Lucas Pete Mitchell, F080741, which is defendant’s appeal from case
No. PCF376534.
       The instant matter (F080746) is remanded for the limited purpose of the trial court
addressing whether it intended to impose an order to prohibit contact between defendant
and D.R., clarify the statutory basis if such an order is imposed, correct the abstract of
judgment as to the concurrent term imposed in this case, and correct the abstract of
judgment and record as necessary.
       The court is directed to issue an amended abstract of judgment reflecting the
modifications and forward a certified copy to all appropriate parties.
       In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.
