1Opinion of the Court

DAVIS, Judge.

Derrick Dantay Smith ("Defendant") appeals from his convictions for conspiracy to sell or deliver heroin, conspiracy to possess with intent to sell or deliver heroin, and attaining the status of a habitual felon. On appeal, Defendant argues that the trial court erred by admitting certain hearsay statements contained in a video recording. After careful review, we conclude that the trial court did not err in denying Defendant's motion to suppress but remand for the correction of a clerical error.
