P. v. Reynaud CA2/6
AnnaMarie Reynaud appeals a victim restitution order following her conviction of diversion of construction funds (Pen. Code, § 484b), a felony; obtaining services/money by false pretenses (§ 532, subd. (a)), a felony; and contracting without a license (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 7028, subd. (a)), a misdemeanor.
Pursuant to a plea bargain, Reynaud pled guilty to various offenses, including diversion of construction funds, obtaining services by false pretenses, and contracting without a license. She also admitted that she diverted property of a value exceeding $200,000 and defrauded residential property owners.
Reynaud was placed on probation and ordered to pay restitution to her victims, Ron and Laura Dinning, who had paid Reynaud money to build a house for them. We conclude, among other things, that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by ordering restitution in the amount of $2,598,917. We affirm.
