2021We therefore overrule Mr. Johnson’s exception. 472 Md. at 528–29, 247 A.3d at 789 (other citations, markings, and paragraph break omitted).

2021We determined that procedural safeguards set forth in HG § 10-708 and related regulations provided “further confidence that the outcome of [] Johnson’s hearing before the ALJ was no less reliable than it would have been if it had been held in the criminal trial court.” Id. at 692, 236 A.3d at 599-600 .

2020“The term Allen instruction is a legal eponym derived from a United States Supreme Court opinion approv[ing] the use of an instruction in which the jury was specifically asked to conciliate their differences and reach a verdict.” State v. Hart, 449 Md. 246 , 255 n.1 (2016) (quotation omitted). 11 inquired, before issuing the Third Nullification Instruction, “all three defendant[s] would object to that instruction for the reasons you’ve stated, correct?” With respect to Johnson, the State acknowledges that Johnson objected to the First Nullification Instruction, but asserts that the only basis

2019APPELLANT TO PAY COSTS. 9 Transp. § 22-412.3(b) states that “[a] person may not operate a motor vehicle unless the person and each occupant under 16 years old are restrained by a seat belt or a child safety seat as provided in § 22-412.2 of this subtitle.” 10 Because we conclude that there was no Fourth Amendment violation, it is not nec- essary for us to address the State’s alternative contention that the police officers’ “immediate discovery of an arrest warrant for Johnson attenuated any illegality associated with the stop.” See, e.g., Utah v. Strieff, __ U.S. __, 136 S. Ct. 2056, 2061 (201

2018The other cases the Court cited all involved claims either (1) that a sentence was imposed even though no conviction supported it, see Alston , 425 Md. at 341 -42 , 40 A.3d 1028 (claiming that there were no convictions on which sentence could be imposed after postconviction court vacated convictions); Jones v. State , 384 Md. 669 , 685, 866 A.2d 151 (2005) (claiming that there was no conviction on which sentence could legally be imposed because the verdict was never announced orally and, therefore, never became final); or (2) that an aspect of the sentence itself was unlawful, see Ridgeway , 3

2012In Shea v. Louisiana, 470 U.S. 51 , 105 S.Ct. 1065 , 84 L.Ed.2d 38 (1985), the Supreme Court extended the Johnson analysis to the Fifth Amendment rule announced in Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477 , 101 S.Ct, 1880 , 68 L.Ed.2d 378 (1981), and held that, while it did not apply to final convictions, it applied to cases pending on direct review. 4 .

2011Speaking through Judge Smith, the Court of Appeals placed its express imprimatur on the Johnson analysis in Dillsworth v. State, 308 Md. 354, 366-67 , 519 A.2d 1269 (1987): If the analytical framework enunciated in Johnson is applied to the case at bar, it quickly becomes apparent that this is not a proper case for invoking the doctrine of merger by legislative intent.

Phase III, 391 Md. 374 , 893 A.2d 1067 (2006), 10 gave Johnson the opportunity to secure funds to pay *380 the delinquent taxes, subsequent taxes, interest and costs necessary to redeem the subject property from the tax sale.
