1Opinion of the Court

LILLEHAUG, Justice.

This case requires that we decide whether the two-tier conditional-release term contained in the child-pornography statute, Minn. Stat. § 617.247, subd. 9 (2010), is *181ambiguous. We conclude that it is not, and that it was properly applied in this case. We therefore reverse the decision of the court of appeals.
