Plaintiff-Appellee,
v SC: 141062
COA: 296591
Saginaw CC: 08-031656-FH
JOHN SATTERWHITE FRANKLIN,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the March 24, 2010 order
of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Saginaw County Prosecuting
Attorney to answer the application for leave to appeal within 28 days after the date of this
order, addressing the issues whether the trial court failed to comply with MCL 767.61a
when accepting defendant’s pleas to the charge of being a sexually delinquent person,
and whether defendant’s convictions are barred by double jeopardy.
The application for leave to appeal remains pending.
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.
