On appeal from the Circuit Court of Levy County, Mark W. Moseley, Judge. Jessica J. Yeary, Public Defender, and Jasmine Russell Dixon and Emmalyn Dalton, Assistant Public Defenders, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Zachary F Lawton, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
B.L. Thomas, J.
N.C.D., Appellant, and S.L.L. were codefendants below and were ordered to pay restitution, for which they were jointly and severally liable. It was error to award lost-wages restitution to the victim corresponding to the loss of illicit work. See S.L.L. v. State, 381 So. 3d 1276 (Fla. 1st DCA 2024) (reversing portion of co-defendant’s restitution order).
Accordingly, we REVERSE the portion of the trial court’s restitution order awarding $3,650 in restitution for lost wages.
Ray and Kelsey, JJ., concur.
