United States v. Bond
United States v. Bond
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
I
Bond argues that his 16-level sentencing enhancement under U.S.S.G.
II
Bond also argues that the district court erred in requiring him to pay restitution due to his financial condition. Under the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act (“MVRA”), imposition of restitution is mandatory, “without regard to a defendant’s economic situation.” United States v. Dubose, 146 F.3d 1141, 1143 (9th Cir. 1998); see also 18 U.S.C. § 3664(f)(1)(A). The case relied on by Bond stating the contrary, United States v. Ramilo, 986 F.2d 333 (9th Cir. 1993), was decided prior to the MVRA’s passage.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided
. In a concurrently filed opinion, we consider whether the government withheld information from the defendant which it was required to disclose under Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963). United States v. Bond, 06-50628 (9th Cir.- — , 2008). The facts of the case are stated there; we need not repeat them here.
