Judge recalls Dino Acosta's case and recalls payment deadline to June 9; court asks for cashier's check made to complainant
Summary
Judge Stephanie Boyd recalled Dino Acosta's matter, reset the case for June 9 and instructed Acosta to bring a cashier's check for the $8,000 restitution requested by the court; counsel and probation staff to coordinate to ensure proper payee and delivery.
The court recalled an appearance for Dino Acosta and addressed outstanding restitution the court had ordered.
Acosta told the court he is working overseas and has had difficulty completing the required restitution payment. He said he had $5,000 of the $8,000 requested and expected to be back in the U.S. in early June. The court clarified that the payment should not be routed through probation — the check should be payable to the complainant — and warned that payments sent through probation had been delayed or lost in comparable cases.
Judge Stephanie Boyd reset Acosta's appearance for June 9, 2025, instructed him to bring a cashier's check made out to the complainant, and told him to coordinate with counsel to ensure the payment goes to the correct payee and reaches the court. The court indicated that if Acosta can pay earlier, he is welcome to do so and should work through his attorney to avoid misdirection of funds. The matter will be recalled on June 9; if the payment is not made, standard case-processing steps will follow.
