California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Phu, 101 Cal. Rptr. 3d 601, 179 Cal.App.4th 280 (Cal. App. 2009):
(1985) 176 Cal.App.3d 67, 81 [222 Cal.Rptr. 32].) Restitution orders are reviewed for abuse of discretion. (People v. Mearns, supra, 97 Cal.App.4th at p. 498.) When there is a factual and rational basis for the amount of restitution ordered, no abuse of discretion will be found. (Id. at p. 499.)
