In People v. Soria (2010) 48 Cal.4th 58, the California Supreme Court held that the Court of Appeal had erred in agreeing with the defendant's claim that separate fines in each of three cases totaling more than $ 10,000 ($ 10,000, $ 400, and $ 200) was unauthorized. (Id. at p. 62.) The Supreme Court ruled that under a correct reading of Penal Code section 1202.4, the fines had to be imposed "in every case" because "'every case' plainly means each case filed against the defendant." (Id. at pp. 62-63.) Thus, the Soria court held that "Defendants who commit multiple crimes, and are consequently before the court in multiple cases when their pleas are taken, are properly subject to multiple fines." (Id. at p. 66.)
