v SC: 135272
COA: 280100
Kent CC: 04-005983-FH
STEVEN MARK HARRIS,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 4, 2007
order of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Kent County Prosecuting
Attorney to answer the application for leave to appeal within 28 days after the date of this
order. The prosecutor shall address the following issues: (1) whether the Michigan
Department of Corrections (MDOC) has the authority to “cancel” defendant’s discharge
from parole; and (2) whether the trial court erred by sua sponte amending a judgment of
sentence, which was valid when entered, based on the MDOC’s “cancellation” of
defendant’s parole discharge.
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.
