California Court of Appeal

The plain language of the Realignment Act prohibits application of the inability to pay presumption to county jail sentences and thus does not apply to defendant, but the trial court's order imposing $400 in attorney fees on defendant, without notice or hearing, is vacated and remanded for the trial court to conduct a hearing on defendant's inability to pay.
