California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Kuykendal, CO92843 (Cal. App. 2021):

Relying primarily on People v. Dueas (2019) 30 Cal.App.5th 1157 (Dueas), defendant contends that he is entitled to a hearing on his ability to pay the court imposed fines and fees. We conclude defendant forfeited his claim on appeal by failing to raise the issue in the trial court.
