[A] trial court has authority to enter a nunc pro tunc order at any time [(citation)], even after its jurisdiction otherwise has expired." People v. Strickland, 2017 IL App (4th) 150714, ¶ 48, 92 N.E.3d 512; see also People v. Flowers, 208 Ill. 2d 291, 306-07, 802 N.E.2d 1174, 1183 (2003) (stating a trial court's "continuing power" over a case is "limited to enforcement of the judgment or correction of clerical errors or matters of form so that the record conform[s] to the judgment actually rendered"). "We have this same power to amend the record so as to correct clerical errors.
Only the trial court is authorized to impose fines as part of a defendant's sentence. See People v. Strickland, 2017 IL App (4th) 150714, ¶ 49, 92 N.E.3d 512. Defendant is not entitled to monetary credit toward clerk-imposed fines rather than fines imposed by the court on his conviction.
However, only the trial court may properly impose fines as part of a defendant's sentence, not the circuit clerk. See People v. Strickland, 2017 IL App (4th) 150714, ¶ 49, 92 N.E.3d 512 ("Although circuit clerks can have statutory authority to impose fees, they never have authority to impose fines; the imposition of a fine is exclusively a judicial act."). Defendant is not entitled to any monetary credit toward fines that were improperly assessed by the clerk rather than imposed by the court upon his conviction.
