What are the implications of a federal court's decision to order restitution for an abuse of discretion?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from USA. v. Lomow, 266 F.3d 1013 (9th Cir. 2001):
"As long as it does not exceed the bounds of statutory framework, we review a district court's decision to order restitution for an abuse of discretion. The court's underlying factual findings are reviewed for clear error." United States v. Matsumaru, 244 F.3d 1092, 1108 (9th Cir. 2001) (citation omitted). However, we review a district court's valuation methodology de novo. See United States v. Davoudi, 172 F.3d 1130, 1134 (9th Cir. 1999).
