v SC: 152319
COA: 320197
Oakland CC: 2013-009924-AR
ALI ZAID, 52-4 District Ct: 12-004518-FY
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 26, 2015
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in
lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE that part of the Court of Appeals judgment
discussing the weight and effect of the evidence presented at the preliminary examination
and directing arraignment in the Oakland Circuit Court on a felony Information. The
Court of Appeals erred in making factual findings and binding over this case to the circuit
court for trial. We REMAND this case to the 52-4 District Court for further proceedings
not inconsistent with the remainder of the Court of Appeals judgment. In all other
respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the question
presented should be reviewed by this Court.
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.
