CONCURRING STATEMENT BY STABILE, J.:                     FILED MARCH 09, 2020

        I agree with the Majority's analysis and conclusions. I write separately

to note that the legality of   a   sentence can be, and generally is, challenged by

defendants. Thus, to the extent that the Majority indicates that "it       is up   to

the District Attorney" to appeal an illegal sentencing order, I would also add

that an affected defendant can similarly challenge the legality of the

sentencing order.
