The People, Plaintiff and Respondent v. Marcos Hijinio Soria, Defendant and Appellant

Summary

The California Supreme Court held that restitution fines and suspended parole revocation restitution fines must be imposed separately for each separately filed criminal case, even when the cases are resolved together through one plea bargain. The cases were not consolidated for trial, so resolving them in a single negotiated disposition did not convert them into one case. The court therefore reversed the Court of Appeal's judgment.
