181816P.pdf   07/26/2019  United States  v.  Sheldon Tree Top
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-1816
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Pierre   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, Loken and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. In prosecution for the sale of eagle 
   feathers in violation of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, 16 
   U.S.C. Sec. 668(a), the district court erred in ordering defendant to pay 
   $5,000 in restitution to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation; 
   restitution reduced to $130; because the court initially denied the 
   government's request for a fine in light of the sizeable restitution 
   award, the matter is remanded to permit the district court an opportunity 
   to determine if a fine is warranted in light of the reduced restitution 
   award.
