10/18/2016 This matter comes on for consideration this 17th day of October, 2016 for correction of the Court's Judgment Entry dated September 26, 2016 wherein the Court ordered any registration block be released. The Court finds this was erroneous as not being responsive to the Defendant's motion and because the Defendant's registration block was previously released by an entry dated May 23, 2016. Accordingly, this Judgment Entry is hereby vacated. In response to the Defendant's motion filed on September 26, 2016 requesting additional time to pay his fines and costs, the Court hereby ORDERS the Defendant to make a monthly payment of forty dollars ($40.00) on or before November 4, 2016. If, for any reason, the Defendant fails to make this payment, he is then ORDERED to appear in Court at 8:00 AM on Monday, November 7, 2016 for a Fines and Costs hearing at which time he will be required to provide an explanation as to his inability to make the required payment. If the Defendant fails to appear for said hearing, a warrant for his arrest may be issued. The Defendant is to continue making regular monthly payments in lieu of appearing for Fines and Costs hearing. It is so Ordered. Signed Judge Miller
