Plaintiff-Appellee,
v SC: 153858
COA: 331942
Otsego CC: 11-094342-FC
ANTHONY JEROME BEATY,
Defendant-Appellant.
_____________________________________/
By order of October 26, 2016, the application for leave to appeal the April 15,
2016 order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decisions in People
v Steanhouse (Docket No. 152849) and People v Masroor (Docket Nos. 152946-8). On
order of the Court, the cases having been decided on July 24, 2017, 500 Mich 453 (2017),
the application is again considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting
leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for consideration, as on
leave granted, of whether the defendant’s sentence is reasonable under the standard set
forth in Steanhouse. In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not
persuaded that the remaining question presented should be reviewed by this Court.
WILDER, J., did not participate because he was on the Court of Appeals panel.
CLEMENT, J., did not participate.
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.
