DOYLE, J.

James Christensen appeals the district court's June 10, 2011 ruling ordering him to make restitution to the Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP). He contends the court erred in finding the seventy-two hour reporting requirement to be eligible for CVAP compensation was properly waived. SeeIowa Code § 915.84(2) (2007). Additionally, he argues the court erred in finding the CVAP's award of lost wages to the victim beyond two weeks was improper. After a thorough review and consideration of the record, we affirm the district court's ruling without opinion. SeeIowa R.App. P. 6.1203(a), (d).

AFFIRMED.
