United States Ninth Circuit

In defendant's appeal from a restitution order imposed pursuant to the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act following his guilty plea to an assault resulting in serious bodily injury, the order is remanded for a renewed restitution proceeding because the district court abused its discretion in precluding defendant's expert witness from testifying regarding the proximate cause of the victim's injuries.
