Supreme Court of Colorado

Shaun Jeff Snow v. the People of the State of Colorado

May 27, 20252025 CO 32

Summary

The court held that the district court imposed an illegal sentence when it deferred restitution in its entirety at sentencing instead of entering one of the restitution orders authorized by statute. Because an illegal sentence may be corrected at any time, Snow's challenge was not time-barred as an illegal-manner claim. The court reversed and remanded for vacatur of the post-sentencing restitution order and entry of an order requiring no restitution.
