State v. Schnagl
Annotate this CaseAppellant was convicted of a crime and was sentenced to a stayed sentence of ninety-eight months together with a conditional-release term of five years. Appellant violated his probation, served a portion of his executed sentence, and was then placed on supervised release. After Appellant violated the terms of his supervised release, the Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) revoked his release and ordered him to serve the remaining portion of his executed sentence in custody. Appellant filed a motion to correct his sentence under Minn. R. Crim. P. 27.03(9), alleging that the DOC had illegally extended his conditional-release term. The district court concluded that it had jurisdiction over the matter and denied Appellant’s motion to correct his sentence on the merits. The Supreme Court affirmed as modified, holding (1) the district court has subject matter jurisdiction over a motion to correct a sentence under Rule 27.03(9), but such a motion is not the proper procedure to obtain judicial review of the Commissioner of Correction’s administrative decision implementing the sentence imposed by the district court; and (2) because Appellant used the wrong procedure, a denial of his motion to correct his sentence was warranted.
