State v. Moore
No. 20090143

Per Curiam.

[1] Jonathan Moore appeals the order setting restitution and the amended criminal judgment. Moore argues the district court erred when it ordered him to pay restitution because restitution can only be imposed after considering its rehabilitative affect and his classification as a habitual offender represents the State's acknowledgment that he cannot be rehabilitated. Moore also argues the evidence does not support the amount of restitution ordered by the district court. We conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in determining restitution should be ordered or in determining the amount of restitution. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4).
