P. v. Briones CA2/3
Defendant and appellant Jeffrey Samuel Briones appeals from the trial court’s award of restitution to two victims of his crimes. Briones did construction, painting, electrical, and other work on the victims’ homes even though he did not have a contractor’s license. As to one of the two restitution awards, we find forfeiture and, in any event, no abuse of discretion. As to the second award, we reverse and remand for the court to reconsider the proper amount of restitution. The court and the parties believed they were bound by a previously governing appellate decision, but in fact that case had been reversed. We also strike the $10 crime prevention fine, as the parties agree it was unauthorized.
