COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA

Present:

Chief Judge Fitzpatrick, Judge Annunziata and Senior Judge Coleman Argued at Richmond, Virginia

CHARLES L. LANDES v. Record No. 0329-01-2 OPINION BY JUDGE SAM W. COLEMAN III MARCH 26, 2002

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA

FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ORANGE COUNTY Daniel R. Bouton, Judge John R. Maus for appellant. Leah A. Darron, Assistant Attorney General (Randolph A. Beales, Attorney General, on brief), for appellee.

The appellant, Charles L. Landes, contends the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction for fraudulent conversion of a piece of farm machinery for which he had executed a security agreement at the time of its purchase. He further contends that

the trial court erred by requiring as a condition of the suspended sentence that he make restitution in the amount of $7,500, the unpaid secured purchase price, rather than $950, the actual value of the damaged machinery. Finding the evidence sufficient and the

restitution amount proper, we affirm the trial court's judgment. I. Sufficiency of the Evidence
