Background

  • McLaughlin was convicted of first-degree theft and faced restitution issues at sentencing.
  • The initial State v. McLaughlin opinion vacated the supplemental restitution judgment due to insufficient notice of restitution nature and amount, and remanded for resentencing.
  • McLaughlin filed a petition for reconsideration arguing authorities to impose restitution no longer existed; the court disagreed, distinguishing restitution overruling remand vs resentencing.
  • The court changed disposition on reconsideration to a judgment awarding restitution, based on the lack of timely restitution evidence.
  • The State sought leave to file a late response; the court allowed it and then urged remand for resentencing under statutory authority.
  • Under ORS 138.222(5)(a), remand for resentencing is required when the sentencing court committed an error that requires resentencing, potentially allowing a compensatory fine under ORS 137.101.

Issues

Issue Plaintiff's Argument Defendant's Argument Held
Whether ORS 138.222(5)(a) requires remand for resentencing. State: remand is required for resentencing. McLaughlin: prior holdings negate further restitution authority; remand unnecessary. Remand required for resentencing.
Whether compensatory fines can be considered on remand. State: compensatory fines may be imposed to compensate victims. McLaughlin: issues beyond restitution should be analyzed; no extra fines implied. Compensatory fines may be considered on remand under ORS 137.101.
