                   Plaintiff and Respondent,                                     (Super. Ct. No. 07F03705)

         v.

NOU CHONG HER,

                   Defendant and Appellant.




         Defendant Nou Chong Her pleaded no contest to felony evading a police officer
(Veh. Code, § 2800.2, subd. (a)), receipt of a stolen vehicle (Pen. Code, § 496d, subd.
(a)),1 and felony resisting an executive officer (§ 69). The trial court imposed a
stipulated term of 16 months in state prison and awarded 527 days of presentence custody
credits.




1        Subsequent undesignated statutory references are to the Penal Code.

                                                             1
         On appeal, defendant contends the trial court should have awarded him 526 days
of presentence conduct credits. We dismiss the appeal for failing to raise a cognizable
issue.
                                        DISCUSSION
         We dispense with the facts of defendant’s crimes as they are unnecessary to
resolve this appeal.
         At sentencing, the trial court stated: “So, the defendant has 527 days actual.
There’s additional credits as well. Certainly then, it’s going to be deemed time served, so
to speak, in terms of the 16 months state prison sentence in the matter since it would be
50 percent, so, eight months.” Neither the trial court nor the parties mentioned conduct
credits. The minutes and abstract of judgment show defendant receiving presentence
credit for 527 days’ actual and 0 days’ conduct.
         Defendant claims he is entitled to conduct credits without regard to whether he
will serve any time in prison, and notes that excess presentence credits can be used to
offset any fines (§ 2900.5, subd. (a)) and could be applied to his parole period.2
         Section 1237.1 states: “No appeal shall be taken by the defendant from a
judgment of conviction on the ground of an error in the calculation of presentence
custody credits, unless the defendant first presents the claim in the trial court at the time
of sentencing, or if the error is not discovered until after sentencing, the defendant first
makes a motion for correction of the record in the trial court.” This section precludes an
appeal where, as here, the only issue raised concerns the calculation of presentence
custody credits and the defendant did not previously raise the issue in a motion to the trial
court. (People v. Clavel (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th 516, 518-519.)



2      The trial court imposed a $200 restitution fine (§ 1202.4, subd. (b)), stayed a
parole revocation fine of like amount (§1202.45), $120 in court security fees (§1465.8)
and a $30 criminal conviction fee for each count (Gov. Code, § 70373, subd. (a)(1)).

                                               2
       Defendant has not presented this claim to the trial court. He claims he is relieved
of this duty under the holding of People v. Delgado (2012) 210 Cal.App.4th 761.
       In Delgado, the Court of Appeal held that section 1237.1 “does not preclude a
defendant from raising, as the sole issue on an appeal, a claim his or her presentence
custody credits were calculated pursuant to the wrong version of the applicable statute.”
(Delgado, supra, 210 Cal.App.4th at p. 763.) In so holding, the Court of Appeal
distinguished the claim before it, which involved the “substantive interpretation of the
custody credit statutes,” from claims properly dismissed pursuant to section 1237.1, those
involving “a mere mathematical error or oversight” that “is easily corrected and much
less likely to engender a serious disagreement between the parties that must be resolved
by an appellate court.” (Id. at p. 767.)
       The trial court’s apparent failure to award conduct credits3 is the type of
inadvertent error to which section 1237.1 applies. Since defendant has inexplicably
failed to inform the trial court of its oversight and request a correction, his appeal must be
dismissed.
                                       DISPOSITION
       The appeal is dismissed.

                                                     NICHOLSON           , J.

We concur:


      BLEASE          , Acting P. J.


      BUTZ            , J.




3      If it in fact failed to award conduct credits, since the trial court’s phrase, “There’s
additional credits as well,” may have referred to conduct credits.
