United States v. Ellis

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court

SYKES, Circuit Judge.

The single issue raised in this appeal concerns the extent of a district court’s obligation to establish a payment schedule when imposing a criminal fine. The parties contest whether our decision in United States v. Day, 418 F.3d 746 (7th Cir.2005), which held that a district court must establish a payment schedule when imposing restitution, is applicable to the imposition of fines. Because the restitution and criminal fine statutes differ in the obligations they place on district courts, we conclude that Day is inapplicable to the latter.
