People v. Culp
Opinion
Opinion
Wiseman, J.
This appeal presents the sole issue of whether the trial court erred in refusing to aggregate noncontinuous periods that defendant spent in presentence custody when calculating good behavior and work performance credits (good/work credits) pursuant to Penal Code section 4019. We conclude this was error and direct the court to amend the abstract of judgment to reflect an award of two additional days of credit.
