v SC: 150119
COA: 317054
Ingham CC: 13-000161-FH
FATEEN ROHN MUHAMMAD,
Defendant-Appellant.
_____________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 29, 2014
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral
argument on whether to grant the application or take other action. MCR 7.302(H)(1).
The parties shall file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order
addressing: (1) whether the defendant’s acknowledgement that he received a felony
complaint that contained a habitual offender notice filed in district court satisfies the
requirement set forth in MCL 769.13 that the habitual offender notice be served “within
21 days after the defendant’s arraignment on the information charging the underlying
offense or, if arraignment is waived, within 21 days after the filing of the information
charging the underlying offense;” and (2) if not, the proper application of the harmless
error tests articulated in MCR 2.613 and MCL 769.26 to violations of the habitual
offender notice requirements set forth in MCL 769.13, compare People v Cobley, 463
Mich 893 (2000), with People v Johnson, 495 Mich 919 (2013). The parties should not
submit mere restatements of their application papers.
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.
