ELMORE, Judge,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent from the majority opinion affirming the trial court’s order requiring defendant to enroll in satellite-based monitoring. I would reverse and remand the trial court’s order for the reasons stated by my dissents in State v. Wagoner, — N.C. App. —, — S.E.2d -, — (2009) (Elmore, J., dissenting), State v. Morrow, - N.C. App. -, -, - S.E.2d -, - (2009) (Elmore, J., concurring *616in part and dissenting in part), and State v. Vogt, — N.C. App. -, -, - S.E.2d -, - (2009) (Elmore, J., dissenting). For the reasons stated therein, I would hold that enrolling defendant in lifetime satellite-based monitoring after finding that his offenses were aggravated increases the maximum penalty for his crime and must, under Apprendi, “be charged in an indictment, submitted to a jury, and proven beyond a reasonable doubt.” Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 476, 147 L. Ed. 2d 435, 446 (2000) (citation omitted).
