In re David C. CA1/5
David C. admitted a misdemeanor battery on a juvenile hall correctional counselor. At a contested restitution hearing, the counselor testified that he lost private construction work due to an injury he incurred in the incident. David was ordered to pay $23,100 in restitution. David challenges the restitution order on the grounds that he was denied the benefits of a limit on restitution in Welfare and Institutions Code section 730.6, subdivision (k) (section 730.6(k)) in violation of his equal protection rights; the order violated restrictions on mandatory restitution in section 730.6; the order was not supported by substantial evidence; and he received ineffective assistance of counsel with respect to the order. We order the restitution order modified to correct a $1,000 error and otherwise affirm.
