People v. Nassetta
Annotate this CaseA search of Nassetta‘s truck revealed multiple containers of substances that Nassetta identified as cocaine, methamphetamine, and hash wax; drug use paraphernalia; a notebook containing amounts owed or paid; and a semiautomatic firearm in a locked container. Nassetta entered a plea of no contest to felony possession for sale of cocaine and misdemeanor DUI with a prior DUI conviction. The trial court suspended imposition of sentence and granted Nassetta formal probation for five years. The probation officer‘s report recommended 18 terms and conditions of probation. Number 16 was a curfew, 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Nassetta‘s attorney objected to the curfew limit as not part of the plea bargain, and as a substantial burden unrelated to future criminality. The trial court observed that in its experience, “about two-thirds of [DUI cases] happen in the middle of the night . . . it seems curfew is very closely related to the behavior . . . and the future criminality” and that, given Nassetta‘s significant substance abuse problems, “curfew seems like a really reasonable and sensible idea.” The court of appeal modified the probation order, striking condition 16 as unreasonable because it is not related to Nassetta‘s criminal offenses and does not relate to conduct that is itself criminal.
