Existing law allows an appeal to be taken by the defendant from a final judgment of conviction, except that existing law prohibits an appeal 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 after sentencing, the defendant first makes a motion for correction of the record in the trial court. This bill would prohibit a defendant from taking an appeal from a judgment of conviction solely on the ground of an error in the imposition or calculation of fines, penalty assessments, surcharges, fees, or costs 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 in the trial court, which may be made informally in writing. The bill would also allow a motion for correction in the trial court regarding the calculation of presentence custody credits to be made informally in writing. The bill would provide that the trial court retains jurisdiction after a notice of appeal has been filed to correct any error in the calculation of presentence custody credits, or in the imposition or calculation of fines, penalty assessments, surcharges, fees, or costs, upon the defendant's request for correction.
