In this Chisago County Criminal case, the Minnesota Court of Appeals held that an offender may file a motion to correct sentence pursuant to Minnesota Rule of Criminal Procedure 27.03, subdivision 9, only if the offender challenges the sentence on the ground that it is "unauthorized by law" in the sense that the sentence is contrary to an applicable statute or other applicable law. If an offender wishes to challenge a sentence for any other reason, the offender must do so pursuant to chapter 590 of the Minnesota Statutes.
