2024Most fundamentally, Kim’s theory incorrectly conflates the unauthorized sentence doctrine with the fair notice doctrine (People v. Anderson (2020) 9 Cal.5th 946 , 962 (Anderson) [“To impose unpleaded sentence enhancements is an error of a different variety” from an unauthorized sentencing error]; see In re G.C., supra, 8 Cal.5th at p. 1130, quoting People v. Scott (1994) 9 Cal.4th 331, 354 [“an unauthorized sentence . . . is a sentence that ‘could not lawfully be imposed under any circumstance in the particular case’”]) and incorrectly assumes an unauthorized sentence claim establishes appeala

Kim does not attempt to draw any 9 parallel between facts bearing on forfeiture principles and appealability. 9 Even assuming arguendo that Kim demonstrated appealability and we moved to question of whether his present challenge to the prosecution’s 2008 information was forfeited, this matter’s contrast to Anderson would guide our discretion against reaching the merits of Kim’s fair notice theory.
