ORDER
Anica Letica, Presiding Judge
This Court's October 13, 2022 opinion and order remanded to the trial court to "hold an evidentiary hearing to determine if defendant was made aware of the SORA implications of his plea in a manner that satisfied due process." On remand, on November 18, 2022, the trial court held an evidentiary hearing. At the end of the hearing, the trial court did not make an on-the-record determination regarding whether defendant was made aware of the SORA implications of his plea. The trial court also failed to issue a written order containing its determination. Therefore, this case is again REMANDED back to the trial court for further proceedings.
Within 28 days of the Clerk's certification of this order, the trial court shall determine if defendant was made aware of the SORA implications of his plea in a manner that satisfied due process. The trial court shall place its findings and determination in writing and issue an appropriate order or judgment. The proceedings on remand are limited to this issue.
Within seven days after entry, appellant shall file with this Court copies of all orders entered on remand. The parties shall promptly file with this Court a copy of all papers filed on remand. The transcript of all proceedings on remand shall be prepared and filed within 21 days after completion of the proceedings.
We retain jurisdiction.
