                                 State v. Greff
                                 No. 20220059

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Benjamin Greff appeals from an amended order deferring imposition of
sentence after he pled guilty to theft of property and was ordered to pay
restitution. Greff argues the district court acted beyond statutory limits in
setting the restitution amount at $5,075 based on the testimony of the co-owner
of the stolen property. We conclude the district court acted within statutory
limits in setting the amount of restitution. State v. Pagenkopf, 2020 ND 33, ¶
6, 939 N.W.2d 2 (“When reviewing a restitution order, we look to whether the
district court acted within the limits set by statute, which is a standard similar
to our abuse of discretion standard.”). We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
