FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF SUPREME COURT JULY 21, 2022 STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA IN THE SUPREME COURT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 2022 ND 143 State of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Benjamin David Greff, Defendant and Appellant No. 20220059 Appeal from the District Court of Burleigh County, South Central Judicial District, the Honorable Pamela A. Nesvig, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Justin J. Schwarz, Assistant State’s Attorney, Bismarck, ND, for plaintiff and appellee; submitted on brief. Steven Balaban, Bismarck, ND, for defendant and appellant; submitted on brief. State v. Greff No. 20220059 Per Curiam. [¶1] Benjamin Greff appeals from an amended order deferring imposition of sentence after he pled guilty to theft of property and was ordered to pay restitution. Greff argues the district court acted beyond statutory limits in setting the restitution amount at $5,075 based on the testimony of the co-owner of the stolen property. We conclude the district court acted within statutory limits in setting the amount of restitution. State v. Pagenkopf, 2020 ND 33, ¶ 6, 939 N.W.2d 2 (“When reviewing a restitution order, we look to whether the district court acted within the limits set by statute, which is a standard similar to our abuse of discretion standard.”). We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2). [¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J. Gerald W. VandeWalle Daniel J. Crothers Lisa Fair McEvers Jerod E. Tufte 1
