California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from The People v. Ivory, A123557, No. C154045 (Cal. App. 2010):

question of what defendant should pay in defense reimbursement costs because defendant's financial circumstances was not an appellate issue].) However, given that there is no factual dispute over the amount that should be paid, we agree with the Third Appellate District, which stated regarding a parole revocation fine that "[i]n the interest of judicial economy,... on appeal modification of the judgment..., rather than remand to the trial court, is the better practice." (People v. Terrell (1999) 69 Cal.App.4th 1246, 1256, fn. 2.)
