Text: Wagner asserts trial court imposed restitution without allowing him any opportunity to challenge the restitution plan it approved. At the sentencing hearing trial court ruled that the director of adult corrections should prepare a plan of restitution to be submitted to the court for its approval. A plan later was submitted to and approved by the court that required Wagner to pay $1,300,000 in pecuniary damages, $1941.06 in court costs, and $46,500 in attorney and witness fees. The State concedes Wagner has had no opportunity to contest this plan of restitution. This opportunity should be provided. See Iowa Code § 910.7 (1983); State v. Kaelin, 362 N.W.2d 526, 528 (Iowa 1985); State v. Janz, 358 N.W.2d 547, 548-49 (Iowa 1984); State v. Storrs, 351 N.W.2d 520, 522 (Iowa 1984). We therefore reverse the district court judgment with respect to the restitution plan order only, and remand to permit Wagner an opportunity to be heard regarding the plan of restitution approved by the court. Wagner's convictions on all counts are affirmed. Costs of this appeal are taxed to Wagner. AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, AND REMANDED FOR FURTHER PROCEEDINGS.
