The following excerpt is from People v. Wright, C081518 (Cal. App. 2016):
Finally, defendant contends the trial court erred in imposing fines that were not included in his plea agreement. We find no error. The trial court informed defendant of the restitution fine prior to his plea, and the court operations assessment and court facility fee are mandatory. (People v. Woods (2010) 191 Cal.App.4th 269, 272.) In any event, imposition of the fines and fees was not a significant variance in the context of the plea agreement. (See People v. Walker (1991) 54 Cal.3d 1013, 1024 ["A punishment or related condition that is insignificant relative to the whole . . . may be imposed whether or not it was part of the express negotiations"], overruled on other grounds by People v. Villalobos (2012) 54 Cal.4th 177, 183.)
