BY THE COURT:

 

Due to a typographical error on page 24 of this court's August 3, 2018 opinion, which has been certified for partial publication, the name for counsel for appellant is incorrectly spelled as Steven F. Henry.

The correct spelling is Stephen F. Henry. Thus, line 3 on page 24 should read:

 

Counsel for Appellant: Stephen F. Henry.
