Wayne CC: 91-002558-FC
FERANDAL SHABAZZ REED,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 25, 2011
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not
persuaded that the question presented should be reviewed by this Court. The denial is
without prejudice to any relief that the defendant may seek under Miller v Alabama, 567
US ___; 132 S Ct 2455; 183 L Ed 2d 407 (2012).
MARILYN KELLY and HATHAWAY, JJ., would remand this case to the trial court
for reconsideration of the mandatory sentence of life without parole in light of Miller v
Alabama.
I, Corbin R. Davis, 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.
