California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Lopez, D074075 (Cal. App. 2019):
The People's concession on this issue is not binding on this court. (People v. Alvarado (1982) 133 Cal.App.3d 1003, 1021 [although Attorney General's concession entitled to "appropriate deference," appellate court is not bound by it].) Because the Order Granting Formal Probation accurately reflects what the court orally pronounced at the sentencing hearing, no modification of that order is warranted.
