The following excerpt is from People v. Lynd, F076308 (Cal. App. 2019):
"When an abstract of judgment does not reflect the actual sentence imposed in the trial judge's verbal pronouncement, [appellate courts have] the inherent power to correct such clerical error on appeal, whether on our own motion or upon application of the parties. [Citation.]" (People v. Jones (2012) 54 Cal.4th 1, 89.) The abstract of judgment must be corrected to accurately reflect the judgment. The abstract of judgment will need to be amended to reflect the court's resentencing on remand regardless.
