Description
In this case we must first determine whether a defendant's valid waiver of her right to appeal her sentence bars her from contesting the district court's restitution order on the grounds that it is not authorized by the Victim and Witness Protection Act (VWPA). Because we conclude that an appeal waiver does not bar such a challenge, we must further decide whether a defendant who pleads guilty only to perjury may be required under the VWPA to make restitution to a victim of a financing scheme for which she was indicted but not convicted. We conclude that the VWPA does not authorize such an order in this case; therefore, we vacate the order and remand for resentencing.
