P. v. Guillen CA6
In 2015, defendant Hariberto Guillen pleaded no contest to making a false statement for the purpose of obtaining workers’ compensation benefits (Ins. Code, § 1871.4, subd. (a)). On March 3, 2016, the trial court suspended imposition of sentence and placed defendant on probation for three years with various terms and conditions.
At a restitution hearing held on May 10, 2016, the trial court ordered defendant to pay $92,146.42 to his employer Infinity Staffing, over his objections that: (1) the restitution sought by Infinity Staffing for medical, legal, and investigation fees related to his workers’ compensation claim was “out of proportion” to the “one misrepresentation” he had made during the course of his workers’ compensation claim, and (2) he should not have to pay restitution for the amounts Infinity Staffing paid to his workers’ compensation attorney. Defendant filed a notice of appeal from the restitution order.
