172382P.pdf   11/06/2018  United States  v.  Stephen Bagley
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-2382
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Wollman and Colloton, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing. Defendant's appeal waiver was valid and would be enforced as to his challenge to his criminal history score; his challenge to a restitution award falls outside the waiver. During defendant's flight in a carjacked vehicle a dog in the car was killed, and the owner of the dog sought $14,999 in restitution for the loss of the dog. The district court awarded the owner $1,000. Restitution for the loss of the dog, "Mister," was properly based on the provisions of the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act addressing lost or destroyed property; the proper measure of damages is the replacement cost of the pet; the government presented no evidence on the dog's replacement cost or value, only a speculative estimate of the costs of raising Mister; as a result, the amount of restitution awarded for Mister was unsupported by the evidence and must be reversed. Judge Colloton, concurring part and dissenting in part.
