People v. Jody M.
Opinion of the Court
Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Franklin County (Main, Jr., J.), rendered November 1, 1993, which sentenced defendant upon his adjudication as a youthful offender.
Defendant appeals solely from that portion of his sentence which ordered restitution. Defendant pleaded guilty to one charge in satisfaction of a five-count superior court information charging him with five burglaries. He now challenges the amount of restitution fixed by County Court based solely upon
Defendant is also correct in his contention that while restitution may be ordered for offenses contained in any accusatory instrument disposed of by a plea of guilty by the defendant to an offense (see, Penal Law § 60.27 [5] [a]; People v Bertolino, 199 AD2d 715, lv denied 83 NY2d 849), he cannot be ordered to pay restitution for uncharged criminal acts of which he denies guilt.
Cardona, P. J., White and Casey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is modified, on the law, by reversing so much thereof as ordered restitution; matter remitted to the County Court of Franklin County for a hearing and a new determination as to the proper amount of restitution; and as so modified, affirmed.
