The following excerpt is from People v. Reyes, H037362 (Cal. App. 2013):
Respondent contends that this claim was forfeited by defendant's failure to object below. We disagree. The trial court's duty to articulate all fines and fees in the abstract of judgment is intended not only to benefit the defendant, but also to assist state and local agencies in their collection obligations. (People v. High (2004) 119 Cal.App.4th 1192, 1200 (High).) The trial court's duty to state and local agencies cannot be waived by the defendant.
