P. v. Czirban CA6
Defendant Ian Czirban appeals from a victim restitution order imposed as a condition of probation following his conviction for several business-related crimes. Czirban’s crimes came to light after a July 2016 accident that killed Robert Reagan III, while he was operating Czirban’s bulldozer in aid of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) at a wildfire in Monterey County. A postaccident investigation revealed that Czirban did not have workers’ compensation insurance.
The trial court convicted Czirban of procuring or offering a false or forged instrument, tax evasion, failure to collect, account for, or pay taxes, and misdemeanor failure to secure payment of workers’ compensation insurance. The trial court suspended imposition of sentence, placed Czirban on felony probation for three years, and reserved the issue of victim restitution. Czirban appealed the judgment of conviction to this court.
