Does the Attorney General have any authority to amend the abstract of judgment of a defendant's sentencing hearing?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Lujan, B276568 (Cal. App. 2017):

The Attorney General does not dispute defendant's position on appeal that the abstract of judgment should be corrected and we agree. The August 11, 2016 abstract of judgment does not accurately reflect what took place on the day of the July 29, 2016 sentencing hearing. Further, the July 29, 2016 judgment must be modified to credit defendant with 6,558 days in actual custody from his August 16, 1998 arrest to his July 29, 2016 resentencing. (People v. Buckhalter (2001) 26 Cal.4th 20, 23, 29, 37, 41.)
