Plaintiff-Appellee,
v SC: 150147
COA: 322933
Wayne CC: 03-011974-FC
JERMOND LAWRENCE PERRY,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 15, 2014
order of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of
granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Wayne Circuit Court for
correction of the judgment of sentence to reflect two first-degree murder convictions.
The original and amended judgments of sentence inaccurately reflect four first-degree
murder convictions, notwithstanding that only two people were murdered. See People v
Orlewicz, 293 Mich App 96, 112 (2001) (“convicting a defendant of both first-degree
premeditated murder and first-degree felony murder arising out of the death of a single
victim is a violation of double-jeopardy protection”). We further ORDER the trial court
to ensure that the corrected judgment of sentence is transmitted to the Department of
Corrections. In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because the defendant has
failed to meet the burden of establishing entitlement to relief under MCR 6.508(D).
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.
