Order Michigan Supreme Court Lansing, Michigan May 24, 2006 Clifford W. Taylor, Chief Justice 130097 Michael F. Cavanagh Elizabeth A. Weaver Marilyn Kelly Maura D. Corrigan PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, Robert P. Young, Jr. Plaintiff-Appellee, Stephen J. Markman, Justices v SC: 130097 COA: 261967 Wayne CC: 00-006096 JEREMEY HURLEY, Defendant-Appellant. _________________________________________/ On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 20, 2005 order of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE defendant’s sentence and REMAND this case to the Wayne Circuit Court for resentencing. Defendant has demonstrated both good cause and actual prejudice, entitling him to relief under MCR 6.508(D). The sentence imposed was invalid. MCR 6.508(D)(3)(b)(iv). The sentencing guidelines placed defendant in an intermediate cell that required the imposition of a jail term, unless there was a substantial and compelling reason for a departure. MCL 769.34(4)(a). No substantial and compelling reason was offered to permit the imposition of a prison sentence. On remand, the circuit court shall sentence 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 do not 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.
