In State v. Ellis, 361 N.C. 200, 205, 639 S.E.2d 425, 428-29 (2007), our Supreme Court exercised its supervisory authority to reach the issue of a trial court's imposition of a concurrent rather than consecutive sentence in order "to promote the expeditious administration of justice" and achieve "prompt and definitive resolution of an issue . . . necessary to ensure the uniform administration of North Carolina's criminal statutes." Ellis, 361 N.C. at 205, 639 S.E.2d at 428-29. The Court addressed the issue, relying on State v. Wall, 348 N.C. 671, 675-76, 502 S.E.2d 585, 588 (1998), and concluded that where a statute requires the court to sentence defendant to a consecutive term of imprisonment, the imposition of a concurrent sentence is contrary to law, and the sentence must be vacated and remanded for sentencing in accordance with the law. Ellis, 361 N.C. at 206, 639 S.E.2d at 429.
