Manrique v. US

MARCELO MANRIQUE, PETITIONER v. UNITED STATES
Supreme Court of the United States, Thomas, April 19, 2017,
Restitution – An appeal filed before restitution is finalized does not automatically entitle the defendant to appellate review of the finalized restitution

Facts: Manrique was convicted of possession of child pornography. At sentencing, he was ordered to make restitution to the victim but the exact amount would not be determined to later. He appealed his sentence prior to the restitution hearing and never appealed from the restitution hearing itself.
The Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit held that he could not challenge the restitution without appealing from it.
Manrique asked the Supreme Court to review the case, arguing that it was all part of the same thing.
