United States v. Yalincak, No. 20-1540 (2d Cir. 2022)
Annotate this CaseThe Second Circuit held that the district court did not err in finding Defendant Ayfer has not yet satisfied her restitution obligation to W.A-M. The court also concluded that district courts may employ the hybrid approach to craft restitution orders that both apportion liability among multiple defendants according to the loss caused by each defendant and hold defendants jointly and severally liable for some portion of the amounts owed to their victim or victims. The court explained that such hybrid restitution obligations are ordinarily not satisfied until either a defendant has paid as much as she has been ordered to pay or the victim has been made whole. The court finally concluded that Defendant Hakan lacks standing to challenge the district court's orders as to Ayfer's rights and obligations. Accordingly, the court affirmed the district court's order in appeal No. 20-2144-cr and dismissed the consolidated appeals in Nos. 20-1540-cr and 20-1542-cr for lack of standing.
