Opinion

SCOTLAND, P. J.

When a trial court revokes and declines to reinstate probation after having imposed sentence but suspended its execution during the period of probation, the court “must order that exact sentence into effect” (People v. Howard (1997) 16 Cal.4th 1081, 1088 [68 Cal.Rptr.2d 870, 946 P.2d 828]; see Pen. Code, § 1203.2, subd. (c)). However, as we will explain, if the sentence was an unauthorized sentence, the trial court can order execution of the correct sentence whether it is more or less than the sentence previously imposed.
