What is the appropriate restitution for a defendant who has pleaded guilty to a single charge of wire fraud?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Courson, 972 F.2d 1344 (9th Cir. 1992):

Pursuant to U.S.S.G. 5E1.1, the district court was required to order restitution in accordance with 18 U.S.C. 3663-3664 (the Victim and Witness Protection Act). 5 In United States v. Sharp, 941 F.2d 811 (9th Cir.1991), a case involving a guilty plea to a single count of wire fraud in a multi-count indictment and a subsequent restitution order under the VWPA, we held that "[e]ven when the offense of conviction involves a conspiracy or scheme, restitution must be limited to the loss attributable to the specific conduct underlying the conviction." Id. at 815 (relying on Hughey v. United States, 110 S.Ct. 1979 (1990)). Accordingly, we "limit[ed] restitution in a wire fraud scheme to the amount specified in the count to which the guilty plea was made." Id. at 813.
