Does defendant have any right to challenge the imposition of fines and fees?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Campbell, E061360 (Cal. App. 2015):

Although defendant raises a multipronged challenge to the imposition of fines and fees, the only issue he raised at the sentencing hearing was his ability to pay. He has therefore forfeited all other challenges. (People v. Aguilar (2015) 60 Cal.4th 862, 867-868; People v. Trujillo (2015) 60 Cal.4th 850, 858.)
