So we waited our 90 days for any appeals, sentencing was scheduled for January and it got postponed because the parole office was back logged, rescheduled for February, got postponed again because the DA had to have a medical procedure done.
For example, if at the sentencing hearing, you get five years in jail, but the judge's written order lists the sentence as 15 years, he can correct it. This must be done within seven days from the date the sentence is announced. After seven days, the judge lacks power to correct it.
