Brian Russell Dolan v. United States — Roberts, J., Dissenting

Summary

Chief Justice Roberts, dissenting, argues that the 90-day deadline under 18 U.S.C. § 3664(d)(5) for ordering restitution is a self-executing statutory limit on a court's authority once the sentence is imposed. He contends that when the deadline expires without action, the court lacks authority to add restitution provisions and the Government should have appealed instead.
