Supreme Court of the United States

Dolan v. United States

June 14, 2010560 U.S. 605

Summary

The Court held that a sentencing court that misses the 90‑day deadline for determining a victim's losses under the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act still retains authority to order restitution if it had previously indicated it would do so, leaving only the amount undetermined. The decision affirmed the Tenth Circuit and rejected the petitioner's argument that the missed deadline extinguished the court's power.
