Plaintiff-Appellee, Justices
v SC: 142036
COA: 299308
Macomb CC: 2009-000546-FH
CEDRIC JAMES SIMPSON,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 23, 2010
order of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(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 the issue whether the trial court erred in requiring
the defendant to register under the Sex Offenders Registration Act, MCL 28.721 et seq.
The Court of Appeals currently has before it the case of People v Gentile, Docket No.
295570, a case we remanded for consideration as on leave granted on November 24,
2010, and that involves an issue similar to that presented in this case. We note that the
court’s disposition in Gentile may be instructive in resolving the issue specified in this
order. In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded
that the remaining questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.
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.
