Text: ¶ 1 Defendant appeals the district court's order amending and increasing its initial order of restitution. This appeal requires us to consider: (1) whether a district court has jurisdiction to amend an order of restitution under rule 30(b) of the Utah Rules of Criminal Procedure where the State mistakenly provided the court with an incorrect figure of restitution at the sentencing hearing; and (2) assuming the court had jurisdiction, whether the amended order of restitution violates protections against double jeopardy or defendant's due process rights to presence and allocution. ¶ 2 We hold that in this case rule 30(b) applies, and the district court had jurisdiction to amend the order of restitution. We further hold that double jeopardy did not attach and that defendant's due process rights were not violated when the district court corrected a clerical error regarding the amount of restitution ordered. We therefore affirm the district court's amended order of restitution.
