v SC: 131326
COA: 267933
Kent CC: 01-005384-FH
LAWRENCE K. YAHNE,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 7, 2006 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 pay particular attention to the apparent discrepancy between
the prosecutor’s decision to dismiss the second count of the information, charging
defendant with a second count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, following the
preliminary examination, and the April 12, 2002 judgment imposing sentence for two
counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct.
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.
