Can restitution be ordered only for the criminal conviction for the same criminal offence for which the criminal charges were dismissed?

In Karrell v. United States, 181 F.2d 981 (9th Cir. 1950), this court held that the specific limitation, "actual damages ... caused by the offense for which conviction was had," governs the general provision for "such terms and conditions as the court deems best." Id. at 987. This court held that restitution could be ordered only for amounts in counts upon which conviction was had and not for amounts set forth in dismissed counts, since a conviction for greater amount could not have been had.
