U.S. 1002, 110 S.Ct. 561, 107 L.Ed.2d 556 (1991). However, our more recent decisions have expressly rejected the Government’s argument. United States v. Baker, 25 F.3d 1452, 1456 (9th Cir.1994). In Baker, we found that an exception to the general rule applied when, as in the present case, the issue on appeal was purely one of law. Id. In Baker, as in the case presently before this Court, the issue on appeal not raised below dealt with the extent of a trial court’s authority to order restitution under the VWPA. Since the sentencing issue is before this Court purely as a question of law, DeSalvo’s failure to raise an objection to the imposition or amount of restitution below will not act to prevent us from considering it. Id.; United States v. Kimball, 896 F.2d 1218, 1219 (9th Cir.1990) (<HOLDING>), vacated in part on other grounds, 925 F.2d
holding that a party waived its objections on appeal to an affidavit presented in support of a motion for summary judgment by failing to raise its objections to the trial court recognizing appellate court jurisdiction over questions of law when objections were not presented below recognizing general rule that an appellate court cannot address claims that were not raised below holding that this court lacks jurisdiction to review a legal claim not presented in administrative proceedings below recognizing that appellate court reviews questions of law de novo
