SEX OFFENSES – MEGAN'S LAW – RESENTENCING – POSTRELEASE-CONTROL NOTIFICATION – NUNC PRO TUNC ORDER: Where defendant had been classified as a sexual-predator in 1997, and was returned in 2010 for resentencing for the purpose of postrelease-control notification, and the court's 2010 sentencing entry did not include defendant's sexual-predator classification, and where confusion arose on defendant's part as to his classification status, the trial court did not err in entering in 2018 an order nunc pro tunc to its 2010 sentencing entry, which stated that defendant had been adjudicated a sexual-predator in 1997: although the 2018 order was of no real legal effect because defendant's 1997 sexual-predator classification was always valid and in force, the court did not err in entering the 2018 nunc pro tunc order to clear up the confusion surrounding defendant's classification status.
