         v.

CHARLES PERSELL,

                   Defendant and Appellant.




         Defendant Charles Persell appeals following the imposition of a state prison
sentence pursuant to a plea agreement. He contends only that the abstract of judgment
requires correction. The Attorney General agrees that the abstract needs correction, but
not for the reason given by defendant. We affirm defendant’s conviction, but remand for
further proceedings as explained below.
                        FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
         An information charged defendant and a codefendant with the following drug-
related offenses: transportation of methadone (count 1; Health & Saf. Code, § 11352,



                                                             1
subd. (a)); possession for sale of methadone (count 2; Health & Saf. Code, § 11351);
transporting methamphetamine (count 3; Health & Saf. Code, § 11379, subd. (a));
possession for sale of methamphetamine (count 4; Health & Saf. Code, § 11378);
possession of controlled substance paraphernalia (count 5; Health & Saf. Code,
§ 11364.1); and possession of methadone (count 6; Health & Saf. Code, § 11350).1 As to
counts 1 through 4, it was alleged that defendant had suffered a prior conviction for
violating Health and Safety Code section 11378. As to all counts, it was alleged that
defendant had suffered three prior prison terms. (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b).)
        Defendant pleaded no contest to counts 3 and 6 and admitted the prior drug
conviction as to count 3 in return for a stipulated sentence of six years eight months in
county jail, consisting of three years on count 3, three years for the prior conviction, and
eight months on count 6 (Pen. Code, § 1170, subd. (h)); the remaining counts and
allegations were dismissed. The factual basis for the plea, as recited by the prosecutor
and stipulated to by defense counsel, was that on May 8, 2013, defendant was found in
Yolo County to have possessed and transported an amount of methamphetamine
sufficiently large to be not for personal use and to be in possession of methadone pills
knowing of their value as a narcotic substance. In addition, he had been convicted of
violating Health and Safety Code section 11378 on July 11, 2007, in Yolo County.
        The trial court thereafter imposed the stipulated sentence. The court also imposed
various fines and fees, including a laboratory fee and assessments of $200 pursuant to
Health and Safety Code section 11372.5. The court made an oral finding that defendant
lacked the ability to pay the related drug program fee and assessments. (Health & Saf.
Code, § 11372.7.) The court ordered defendant to pay a court construction fee of $30 on




1   Count 6 was added by amendment as part of the subsequent plea agreement.

                                              2
each count (Gov. Code, § 70373, subd. (a)(1)) and a court operations assessment of $40
on each count (Pen. Code, § 1465.8).
       We explain the alleged errors in the abstract of judgment below.
                                       DISCUSSION
                                             I
       Defendant contends that the abstract of judgment erroneously shows that the $615
drug program fee under Health and Safety Code section 11372.7, which the trial court
waived, was actually imposed. The Attorney General disagrees. The Attorney General is
correct.
       Defendant cites to an “attachment” page of the abstract of judgment, which details
the drug laboratory fee and the drug program fee (including all appurtenant assessments)
in the amounts indicated by the probation report: $205 for the laboratory fee (Health &
Saf. Code, § 11372.5) and $615 for the drug program fee (Health & Saf. Code,
§ 11372.7). However, as the Attorney General points out, the second page of the abstract
contains the following notation: “See Drug/lab fee breakdown attached (only $200 lab
fees ordered--remaining fees waived).” This notation is consistent with the trial court’s
oral orders and the sentencing minute order. Thus, the abstract correctly reflects the
court’s order.
       We note that the laboratory fee of $200 ordered by the trial court and reflected in
the abstract does not match the laboratory fee of $205 calculated on the “attachment”
page. We will assume the court intended to order a fee of $200 and the abstract is
correct. If the court intended to order the higher amount, the abstract of judgment shall
be corrected to so reflect.
                                             II
       The Attorney General points out that although the trial court correctly ordered the
imposition of a court operations assessment of $40 (Pen. Code, § 1465.8) and a criminal
conviction assessment of $30 (Gov. Code, § 70373) for each count of which defendant

                                             3
was convicted, the abstract shows those assessments as only $40 and $30 respectively.
Because defendant was convicted of two counts, the court operations assessment actually
ordered was $80 and the criminal conviction assessment actually ordered was $60. On
remand, the abstract must be corrected to show those amounts. (People v. Zackery
(2007) 147 Cal.App.4th 380, 385-386.)
                                    DISPOSITION
      Defendant’s conviction is affirmed. The matter is remanded for further
proceedings as indicated in the Discussion.
