State v. Miller

Summary

The North Dakota Supreme Court reversed the district court’s restitution order, holding that extradition costs are not "directly related" to Miller’s theft offense and therefore cannot be ordered as restitution. The Court also held that a court may not add prosecution costs as a sentencing alternative after a binding plea agreement has been accepted. Additionally, the Court affirmed Miller’s right to challenge the restitution order despite not filing a hearing request because the State failed to give proper notice.
