State v. Powers12/26/2001
with payment to a collection agency impermissibly increase a defendant's sentence beyond that originally ordered by the sentencing court. The facts and posture of this case do not present such an issue. See Chittenden S. Educ. Ass'n v. Hinesburg Sch. Dist., 147 Vt. 286, 294, 514 A.2d 1065, 1071 (1986) (declining to reach legal issue, although significant, that would not afford party any additional relief, as doing so would be in the nature of an advisory opinion not constitutionally permitted); see also Baker v. Town of Goshen, 169 Vt. 145, 152, 730 A.2d 592, 596 (1999) (noting that an appellate question must be necessary to the disposition on appeal, otherwise this Court is without power to entertain it).
Affirmed.
