SCOTUS grants cert on a (purely technical?) criminal restitution issue

By Douglas A. Berman

ADVERTISEMENTS
As detailed at this new SCOTUSblog post, the Supreme Court this afternoon "has granted cert. in a single case,  Dolan v. United States (09-367)" Docket: 09-367Title: Dolan v. United StatesIssue: Whether a district court decision to enter a restitution order beyond the ninety-day time limit prescribed in 18 U.S.C. § 3664(d)(5) must be vacated. Opinion below (10th Circuit) Petition for certiorari Brief in opposition Petitioner?s reply As the title of my post highlights, this issue seems to be of mostly technical importance.  If, however, the Supreme Court were to endorse an expanded time from for the entering of restitution orders, I suspect a  ruling in Dolan could have a significant ripple effect.
