Fourth Circuit -- US v. Giuseppe Pileggi

Where appeals court vacates the sentence but not the restitution lower court normally does not have jurisdiction to alter the restitution amount.

As the government had means and incentive to contest restitution on appeal, restitution cannot be adjusted on remand absent instructions from the court of appeals.

Concurrence in J: General remand allows general revision of sentence, this was a specific remand.
