Affirmed
Pursuant to Rule 60(a) of the NC Rules of Civil Procedure, a court has jurisdiction to correct a clerical mistake in its Order so long as the correction occurs before an appeal is docketed, and therefore, may include the time after a notice of appeal is filed but before it is docketed. A clerical mistake includes “inadvertent checking of boxes on forms.”
