   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-1871
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Colloton and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. The requirement in 18 U.S.C. Sec.
   3664(d)(5) that the district court enter a restitution order within 90 days
   of sentencing does not divest the district court of the authority to enter an
   order if the timing provision is breached; interpreting the statute to
   deprive the court of the authority finds no support in the text of the
   statute, would contravene the purposes of the Mandatory Victim
   Restitution Act and would reward defendants at the expense of their
   victims.
