State v. Craven, 205 N.C. App. 393 (Jul. 20, 2010)
rev’d on other grounds, 367 N.C. 51 (Jun. 27, 2013)
The court had jurisdiction to enter judgment on a PJC. The defendant was indicted on August 7, 2006, and entered a guilty plea on January 22, 2007, when a PJC was entered, from term to term. Judgment was entered on March 13, 2009. Because the defendant never requested sentencing, he consented to continuation of sentencing and the two-year delay was not unreasonable.
