v SC: 146819
COA: 314080
Wayne CC: 94-002089-FC
CORTEZ ROLAND DAVIS,
Defendant-Appellant.
____________________________________/
On order of the Court, in conformity with the mandate of the Supreme Court of the
United States, we REVERSE the January 16, 2013 order of the Court of Appeals, we
VACATE the defendant’s sentence for first-degree murder, and we REMAND this case
to the Wayne Circuit Court for resentencing on that conviction pursuant to MCL 769.25
and MCL 769.25a. See Montgomery v Louisiana, 577 US ___; 136 S Ct 718; 193 L Ed
2d 599 (2016), and Miller v Alabama, 567 US ___; 132 S Ct 2455; 183 L Ed 2d 407
(2012). In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded
that the remaining questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.
We do not retain jurisdiction.
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.
