   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Smith, Circuit Judge, and Strom,
   District Judge]
   Criminal case - Criminal case. The district court's special conditions for
   the defendant's future restitution payments to cover mental health
   treatment for the victim violated the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act; 
   the payments were tied to a future contingency and were not set at
   predetermined moments in time and thus lacked the specified intervals
   required by the Act; district court's alternative restitution orders were
   unenforceable attempts to impinge on the government's right to appeal,
   and they are vacated; the evidence before the court was sufficient to allow
   the court to make a reasonably certain estimate of the victim's future
   treatment costs, and the award of $200,000 is affirmed.
