P. v. Gonzales
Defendants Louis Manuel Gonzales and Renee Gonzales were convicted on December 20, 2002, of various charges arising out of the beating and stabbing of Louiss stepnephew. At the sentencing hearing, victim restitution was left to be determined. Counsel for defendants waived defendants presence at any subsequent hearing on the determination of restitution. On August 7, 2007, the superior court ordered defendants to pay restitution in the amount of $19,763.98 to the State Victim Compensation Board as reimbursement for payments made to the victim from the restitution fund. Nothing in the record indicates any notice of hearing was given defendants prior to issuance of the orders. No minute order for any hearing conducted in relation to the orders exists in the record. According to a clerks certificate issued on November 2, 2007, there is no record of any hearing for August 7, 2007, in regards to this case; thus, there is no reporters transcript either.
