Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the November 12, 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 VACATE the sentence of the Wayne Circuit Court and we
REMAND this case to that court for resentencing in light of People v Hendrick, 472
Mich 555 (2005). On remand, the trial court shall sentence the defendant within the
appropriate sentencing guidelines range or state on the record a substantial and
compelling reason for the departure, in accordance with MCL 769.34(3) and People v
Babcock, 469 Mich 247 (2003). We note that under Hendrick, supra at 564, the acts
giving rise to the probation violation may provide a substantial and compelling reason to
depart.
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.
