People v. McCullough
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded no contest to being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm and admitted a prior prison term allegation. The trial court imposed the stipulated prison sentence of four years and ordered Defendant to pay a jail booking fee. Defendant appealed, arguing (1) the statute authorizing the court to impose the booking fee required the court to determine if Defendant was able to pay it, and (2) Defendant was entitled to challenge this fee order for sufficiency of the evidence for the first time on appeal. The court of appeal affirmed the trial court's booking fee order. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that a defendant who fails to contest the booking fee when the court imposes it forfeits the right to challenge it on appeal.
