The following excerpt is from People v. Barriga, 54 Cal.App.4th 67, 62 Cal.Rptr.2d 502 (Cal. App. 1997):
The sole issue on appeal is whether the trial court was without jurisdiction to order the AIDS test because appellant had already commenced his state prison sentence. 2 Relying on People v. Karaman (1992) 4 Cal.4th 335, 14 Cal.Rptr.2d 801, 842 P.2d 100, appellant argues that the trial court lacked authority to increase his sentence by ordering the AIDS test after the original sentence was entered into the minutes.
