Court of Appeals Opinion

Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Peter A. Keller, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Tabor, P.J., Bower, J., and Carr, S.J.  Opinion by Carr, S.J.  (4 pages)

            Ronald Dickey Mason appeals following a hearing on his restitution.  OPINION HOLDS: Because the sheriff’s charges for room and board were not made available to the court at the time of Mason’s sentencing, the district court properly ordered Mason to pay the charges in a supplemental order.  Mason is not entitled to a reduction in restitution because he has failed to demonstrate he lacks the reasonable ability to pay his current restitution installments.  Accordingly, we affirm the district court order denying Mason’s requested relief following the restitution hearing.
