New Mexico Court of Appeals June 9, 1983, 6020 (State v. Griffin)

OPINION

WOOD, Judge.

NMSA 1978, § 31-17-1 (Repl.Pamp. 1981), which deals with victim restitution “makes restitution mandatory when a sentence is deferred or suspended; the court has no discretion.” State v. Ennis, 99 N.M. 117, 654 P.2d 570 (Ct.App.1982), and cases therein cited. In this case, the trial court deferred sentence but refused to require defendant to make restitution.
