Opinion
No. 98-4096.
Opinion filed June 17, 1999.
An appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County, Kathleen Dekker, Judge.
Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender; P. Douglas Brinkmeyer, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General; L. Michael Billmeier,
Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
R.D. appeals a restitution order arguing that, because the order establishing the amount of restitution pursuant to section 775.089(1)(a), Florida Statutes (1997), was entered more than 60 days from the date of the disposition order contrary to rule 3.800(c), Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure, the trial court had no jurisdiction to order restitution. We find the appellant's argument without merit and affirm.
In the instant case, the plea agreement, plea hearing, and disposition order all show that the trial court was imposing a restitution obligation. Under the circumstances, because the order establishing the amount of restitution was entered in a timely manner, the trial court had the jurisdiction to determine the amount of restitution beyond the sixty-day period in rule 3.800(c). See L.O. v. State, 718 So.2d 155 (Fla. 1998).
