HERE THE RESITITUTION FOR THE VICTIM’S OUT-OF-POCKET MEDICAL EXPENSES WAS VACATED BECAUSE THE JUDGE DID NOT MAKE A RECORD SUPPORTING THE AMOUNT AWARDED (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, vacating the restitution for the victim’s out-of-pocket medical expenses, determined the judge failed to make a record of those expenses as required by Penal Law section 60.27:

Although the restitution amount did not exceed the agreed-upon limit, the record is devoid of any hearing, colloquy or judicial determination confirming the actual out-of-pocket medical expenses incurred by the victim (see Penal Law § 60.27; CPL 400.30). Absent record evidence that the restitution imposed satisfied the requirements of Penal Law § 60.27, the order of restitution must be vacated and the matter remitted to County Court for reconsideration in accordance therewith … People v Jimenez- Rivera, 2026 NY Slip Op 01421, Third Dept 3-12-26

Practice Point: Penal Law 60.27 requires record evidence of the amount of restitution for out-of-pocket medical expenses.
