Tarpley (Thomas) v. State
Opinion
company's letter which formed the basis for the State's restitution request and the district court's award. While the judgment of conviction did not expressly state who was entitled to the restitution award, the charging document listed only one victim and, at the sentencing hearing, the district court expressly "impose[d] restitution in the amount of $6,156.60 to be paid to the victim." (Emphasis added.) The district court also correctly stated, "I can't order [Tarpley] to pay restitution to the insurance company, but I can sure order him to pay restitution to the victim." See Martinez, 115 Nev. at 12, 974 P.2d at 135 ("A defendant's obligation to pay restitution to the victim may not, of course, be reduced because a victim is reimbursed by insurance proceeds."). Accordingly, we ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
