People v. Hobbs

Order Michigan Supreme Court Lansing, Michigan July 15, 2010 Marilyn Kelly, Chief Justice 140135 Michael F. Cavanagh Elizabeth A. Weaver Maura D. Corrigan Robert P. Young, Jr. PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, Stephen J. Markman Plaintiff-Appellee, Diane M. Hathaway, Justices v SC: 140135 COA: 294249 Macomb CC: 2003-002588-FC GARY ANTHONY HOBBS, Defendant-Appellant. _________________________________________/ On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 20, 2009 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 Macomb Circuit Court for resentencing. It appears that offense variable 11 was misscored by including multiple sexual penetrations of the victim by the offender beyond the sentencing offense. See MCL 777.41(2). Because the applicable guidelines range may be lower than the one within which the defendant was originally sentenced, resentencing may be required. People v Francisco, 474 Mich 82 (2006). On remand, the court shall sentence the defendant within the appropriate sentencing guidelines range, or articulate on the record a substantial and compelling reason for departing from the sentencing guidelines range in accordance with People v Babcock, 469 Mich 247 (2003). We 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.
