COURT OF APPEALS


PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, Plaintiff-Appellee, v PATRICK JOHN QUINN, Defendant-Appellant.

UNPUBLISHED May 28, 1999

No. 209403 Washtenaw Circuit Court LC No. 92-027510 FH

Before: Griffin, P.J., and Cavanagh and Fitzgerald, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Defendant appeals of right from his sentence for his plea-based conviction of unlawful use of an automobile, MCL 750.414; MSA 28.646. We affirm. This appeal is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). Defendant pleaded guilty in return for dismissal of other charges. Sentencing was delayed. As a condition of delayed sentencing, defendant was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $720. Subsequently, the trial court sentenced defendant to serve six months in jail, with credit for seventy-four days, and to pay the unpaid restitution balance of $510. Defendant did not object to the order that he pay restitution, and did not seek an evidentiary hearing on the issue. Defendant argues that the order requiring him to pay restitution is invalid because no proof documenting the amount of restitution owed was submitted to the court. We disagree. A sentencing court is not required to hold a hearing or to make express findings regarding the amount of restitution owed absent a timely objection by the defendant. People v Grant , 455 Mich 221, 244; 565 NW2d 389 (1997). Defendant failed to raise this issue at sentencing and thus has waived any claim of error. People v Ho , 231 Mich App 178, 193; 585 NW2d 357 (1998). Affirmed. /s/ Richard Allen Griffin /s/ Mark J. Cavanagh /s/ E. Thomas Fitzgerald
