## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- discussing how origins of subsection b demonstrate that “[it] is addressed to the problem of a sentence of imprisonment imposed upon a person who is already serving a term, under a sentence imposed for an earlier offense” (internal citation and quotation marks omitted)
- discussing inapplicability of gap-time under subsection b for time spent on defendant's subsequent-in-time convictions when defendant's connection with earlier unsolved sexual assault offense was utterly unknown to State
- applying de novo standard in gap-time credit case

## Opinion text

PER CURIAM.
The judgment of the Appellate Division is reversed, and the case is remanded to the Law Division (1) for the entry of an order (a) vacating the entire award of 2,145 days of gap-time credits originally granted on September 18, 2009 and (b) remanding defendant L.H. to serve the sentence imposed on that date without any credit for gap time; and (2) for the entry of a corrected judgment of conviction reflecting no days of gap-time credit.
