P. v. Rolando
Pursuant to a plea agreement, defendant and appellant Carlos Rolando pled no contest to receiving stolen property. (Pen. Code, § 496, subd. (a).) In exchange, the trial court sentenced him to three years in state prison, but suspended the sentence and placed him on probation for three years under certain terms, including that he serve 365 days in county jail and participate in the INROADS (Inmate Rehabilitation Through Occupational and Academic Development) program. In addition, the court dismissed three other cases against him. After holding a restitution hearing, the court ordered defendant to be jointly and severally liable with his codefendant to pay victim restitution to Daisy G., the victim who testified at the restitution hearing, in the amount of $7,301.92.
On appeal, defendant contends that the court abused its discretion in ordering him to pay victim restitution since he was not charged with the burglary of the home of Daisy G. Defendant argues that the restitution order must be stricken because there was insufficient evidence connecting him to the burglary of her home. In the alternative, if this court finds no abuse of discretion, defendant argues that the trial court miscalculated the total and the amount of the restitution order should be revised. We find no abuse of discretion and affirm the restitution order.
