State of Iowa v. T.J.W.

Summary

The court held that certiorari was the proper method to review a restitution order entered after dismissal and expungement of the only criminal charge. Because the district court had already determined that T.J.W. completed all deferred-judgment conditions and dismissed the charge, it lacked jurisdiction to later impose pecuniary restitution, making the order void. The court granted the writ and vacated the restitution order.
