UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. DAVID LONICH, et al., Defendants.
ORDER RE: RESTITUTION
SUSAN ILLSTON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On May 4, 2023, the Court resentenced defendants David Lonich, Brian Scott Melland, and Sean Clark Cutting, and in so doing, accepted the Probation Officer's guidelines calculation which did not include a loss enhancement. The Court did not address restitution at that time and reserved the issue for a later date. The government has since filed a notice of appeal of the amended judgments of conviction. The Court finds that because the issues of restitution are intertwined with the matters currently on appeal, it is in the interest of judicial efficiency to defer resolution of restitution until the Ninth Circuit resolves the pending appeal.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
