Corrections and Errors
Pursuant to Penal Code sections 1237.1 and 1237.2, if a financial or credits calculation error is the only issue you plan to raise in an appeal, you must first attempt to correct it in the trial court. By statute, a credits error needs to be raised in a motion in the trial court. On the other hand, according to the statute, an informal letter is an acceptable way to raise the fines/fees error, though you likely will need to follow up with the court’s clerk to get a timely response. Include in your motions/letters the due dates on your AOB.
