                              State v. Clemens
                                No. 20210136

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Brenda Lee Clemens appeals from an amended criminal judgment
entered after she pled guilty to theft. Clemens argues the district court erred
in awarding the restitution amount. We conclude the district court acted
within statutory limits. State v. Harstad, 2020 ND 151, ¶ 7, 945 N.W.2d 265
(“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).
