Does the forfeiture rule apply to a defendant's failure to object to the booking, attorney and administrative fees?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Uhl, E061723 (Cal. App. 2016):

Additionally, just as the forfeiture rule applies to defendant's failure to object to the booking, attorney, and administrative fees, it also applies to the presumption of defendant's ability to pay the imposed fees. "'Given that imposition of a fee is of much less moment than imposition of sentence, and that the goals advanced by judicial forfeiture [were equally relevant in the fee context], we [see] no reason . . . to conclude that the rule permitting challenges made to the sufficiency of the evidence to support a judgment for the first time on appeal "should apply to a finding of" ability to pay [fees].'" (People v. Trujillo, supra, 60 Cal.4th at p. 857; People v. McCullough, supra, 56 Cal.4th at p. 599.)
