KENT ALLEN LEE,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the June 17, 2010
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall
include among the issues to be briefed whether the trial court’s order that the defendant
be required to register under the Sex Offenders Registration Act (SORA), entered after
the defendant had been sentenced and had begun serving his sentence, was valid, and,
whether the defendant’s touching of the victim’s genitals “by its nature constitutes a
sexual offense against an individual who is less than 18 years of age” within the meaning
of MCL 28.722(e)(xi) such that the defendant is required to register under SORA.
The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan and the Criminal Defense
Attorneys of Michigan are invited to file briefs amicus curiae. Other persons or groups
interested in the determination of the issues presented in this case may move the Court
for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
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.
