After his house was destroyed in a fire, Tipton filed a claim under his homeowner’s policy with Nationwide. In a criminally stupid move, Tipton’s claim sought payment for destruction of Van Gogh’s original Starry Night painting which he said was in the house when the fire broke out. Tipton was later charged and pled guilty to insurance fraud and perjury, receiving a sentence of parole plus an $800,000 criminal restitution order. After Tipton completed the parole, the prosecutor’s office told Nationwide that it would cease trying to collect on the restitution order. Nationwide then petitioned the court to convert the criminal restitution order into a civil judgment so that Nationwide could enforce it. Held, the trial court properly converted the criminal restitution order into a civil judgment as Penal Code 1214(b) already treats victim restitution orders as civil judgments.
