v.
Royriguez Patterson
Royriguez Patterson appeals the pecuniary damages restitution order entered following his conviction for serious injury by vehicle. The restitution order was also entered in a companion simple misdemeanor case, which was dismissed pursuant to a plea agreement. Patterson argues the district court lacked authority to enter a restitution order for payment of the victim’s pecuniary damages in a dismissed case. Patterson further argues the restitution order lacks substantial evidentiary support.
