Defendant-Appellant.

_________________________________________/

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 12, 2017 order of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Lenawee County Prosecuting Attorney to answer the application for leave to appeal within 28 days after the date of this order. The prosecutor shall specifically address whether this Court’s decision in People v Lockridge , 498 Mich 358 (2015), rendered invalid that part of MCL 769.34(10) requiring the Court of Appeals to affirm sentences that fall within the applicable guidelines range “absent an error in scoring the sentencing guidelines or inaccurate information relied upon in determining the defendant’s sentence.”

The application for leave to appeal remains pending.

I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court. November 22, 2017
