1Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Judge WEBB.

Defendant, Aaron D. Tolbert, an inmate, appeals the trial court order denying his Crim. P. 35(a) challenge to the parole component of his sentence as illegal.

Therefore, we vacate the order and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
