Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Edward Lavon Ferris appeals the district court’s amended judgment in a criminal
case ordering restitution. In the original judgment, the district court deferred its final
determination of restitution for 90 days. After the 90-day period expired, the district
court granted the Government’s motion for a final amended judgment. On appeal, Ferris
contends that the district court lacked authority to issue the amended judgment ordering
restitution, because it had waited too long in doing so. We affirm.
“We review restitution ordered generally for abuse of discretion, but ‘assess de
novo any legal questions raised with respect to restitution issues, including matters of
statutory interpretation.’” United States v. Diaz,
865 F.3d 168, 173 (4th Cir. 2017)
(citation omitted). The district court determined that Ferris’ arguments were without
merit based on Dolan v. United States,
560 U.S. 605, 608, 611 (2010). We have
reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, and we agree with the district court.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
