The solicitor’s office should provide the appropriate information to the Court to ensure that these indicator boxes are accurately completed on the Sentence Sheet. This form shall be available on the South Carolina Judicial Department website at www.sccourts.org under the ‘Forms’ link.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
