Syllabus

Restitution stipulation ability to pay ineffective assistance of counsel. Trial court did not commit plain error when ordering restitution where the defendant stipulated to the amount of restitution. The stipulation waived any error based on the trial court deciding the issue without a hearing. Trial counsel did not provide ineffective assistance of counsel by failing to object to an order of restitution where the record reflects that the trial court asked counsel if his client would be willing to stipulate and, after a consultation off the record, counsel agreed on behalf of the client to stipulate to restitution.
