Amy v. Monzel

Issue: (1) Whether the “proximate result” requirement of 18 U.S.C. § 2259, which guarantees restitution to child pornography victims, applies only to the losses described in subsection 2259(F), which provides restitution for “any other losses suffered by the victim as a proximate result of the offense,” or instead extends to the losses described in subsections (A) through (E) as well; and (2) whether a crime victim has a statutory right to ordinary appellate review of a claim that a district court violated her rights under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act.
