P. v. Lopez CA1/3
Defendant Michael W. Lopez entered a plea of no contest to charges of mayhem (Pen. Code, § 203), assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury (§ 245, subd. (a)(4)) and battery with serious bodily injury (§ 243, subd. (d)). Thereafter, the court suspended execution of a four-year prison term, placed defendant on probation, and ordered defendant to pay restitution in the amount of $74,990.
On appeal, defendant contends that the trial court abused its discretion in denying his request to continue the restitution hearing and that the court’s refusal to continue the hearing deprived him of his constitutional rights to counsel and to due process. We find no abuse of discretion or deprivation of defendant’s constitutional rights and therefore shall affirm the judgment.
