Name: People v. Rios
Case #: F088834
Opinion Date: 20250909
Attorney: Alex Green
Summary

Appellant was convicted of shooting at an inhabited dwelling (Pen. Code, § 246). At sentencing, the trial court issued a 10-year criminal protective order under Penal Code section 136.2, subdivision (a), prohibiting appellant from contacting any members of the homeowner’s family or coming within 100 yards of her residence. The Court of Appeal struck the order because section 136.2(a) generally does not authorize a trial court to impose a post-judgment restraining order against a criminal defendant, and no other statute authorized the order in this case.
