v SC: 143536
COA: 302088
Ingham CC: 09-001367-FH
DAVID CHUCK CROFF,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the June 15, 2011 order
of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of
granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the order of the Court of Appeals, and REMAND
this case to the Court of Appeals for consideration as on leave granted. The Court of
Appeals order is insufficient to provide meaningful appellate review. The order remands
this case to the Ingham Circuit Court for resentencing within a specific sentencing
guidelines range, but provides no basis for review because it fails to explain how the
circuit court erred and the standards used by the Court of Appeals in reviewing the circuit
court’s decisions.
We do not retain jurisdiction.
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.
