Order Michigan Supreme Court Lansing, Michigan March 8, 2006 Clifford W. Taylor, Chief Justice 128313 & (15) Michael F. Cavanagh Elizabeth A. Weaver Marilyn Kelly PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, Maura D. Corrigan Plaintiff-Appellee, Robert P. Young, Jr. Stephen J. Markman, Justices v SC: 128313 COA: 259544 Oakland CC: 03-190499-FC JOSEPH ANISE FARHAT, Defendant-Appellant. _________________________________________/ By order of November 9, 2005, the prosecuting attorney was directed to answer the defendant’s application for leave to appeal. On order of the Court, the brief having been filed, the application for leave to appeal is again considered, and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Oakland Circuit Court, in light of the prosecution’s concession of error, to amend the judgment of sentence to reflect that defendant was not convicted as a habitual offender and that he was convicted of only one, not two, counts of armed robbery. In all other respects the application is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the remaining questions presented should be reviewed by this Court. We do not retain jurisdiction. KELLY, J., would hold this case in abeyance for People v Drohan, lv gtd 472 Mich 881 (2005). 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.
