The following excerpt is from The People v. Givens, C060240, No. 07F03368 (Cal. App. 2010):
shows the trial court said, "You're still on formal probation." Whether the clerk's transcript or the reporter's transcript controls when the two are in conflict depends on the circumstances of each case. (People v. Smith (1983) 33 Cal.3d 596, 599.) Here, we conclude the reporter's transcript is more reliable than the cryptic notations in the court minutes.
