Babauta, 33, is currently serving six months at a federal penitentiary in Atwater, California for violating the terms of his supervised release in a separate case.
Babauta is expected to be released from federal prison on Jan. 20, 2011.
For admitting forgery in Superior Court, Babauta is expected to be sentenced to eight months imprisonment.
The Attorney General’s Office charged Babauta with two counts of forgery and theft by unlawful taking on or between March 11 and 13, 2009 involving a government payroll check.
Assistant Attorney General Peter Prestley is prosecuting the case while Assistant Public Defender Michael Brown represents Babauta.
In his federal case, Babauta was placed on probation after serving 120 days of weekend detention for mail fraud.
The Federal Probation Office said Babauta stole blank checks from the office of Saint Michael’s Response where he was then working.
