Heading: Whether the district court imposed an arbitrary amount of restitution on Walch.

Text: The district court ordered Walch to pay restitution in the amount of $14,646.32. This was apparently the figure recommended by the Division of Parole and Probation in the presentence report. At the sentencing, the prosecutor told the court that if it liked he could point to the exhibits admitted at trial which would substantiate that amount. He called it a conservative figure based on the monies that the defendant identified to Detective Strande and the monies which were identified to the jury through cross-examination and through bank records, witnesses, as monies clearly removed from the victim's account and consumed by the defendant, or placed into her own account. At no time did Walch question or object to this amount. Her counsel informed the court that he and Walch had reviewed the presentence report and had no material errors to correct. He asked the court to grant Walch probation with conditions that the Court considers appropriate, including restitution in such an amount as the Court finds just in this case, having heard all the evidence. Walch now contends that this amount of restitution was arrived at without a clear basis and that nothing in the record indicates which monies the jury considered stolen. She claims that the amount is so arbitrary that it violates due process. However, she does not analyze the record in any way to show that the amount is excessive. The asserted error is neither plain nor constitutional in magnitude. Therefore, since Walch failed to raise this issue below, this court need not consider it now. Montesano v. Donrey Media Group, 99 Nev. 644, 650 n. 5, 668 P.2d 1081, 1085 n. 5 (1983). The claim lacks merit anyway, since the record supports a finding that the amount of the theft exceeded $14,646.32. Therefore, the district court did not err in ordering restitution in the amount of $14,646.32.
