California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Parks, A149520 (Cal. App. 2017):

We conclude that appellant forfeited this claim by failing to object to the imposition of the fine at the sentencing hearing. (People v. Scott (1994) 9 Cal.4th 331, 353 ["the waiver doctrine should apply to claims involving the trial court's failure to properly make or articulate its discretionary sentencing choices"]; People v. Gamache (2010) 48 Cal.4th 347, 409 [the defendant forfeited his claim regarding a 1202.4 restitution fine because he failed to object at the sentencing hearing].)
