Wayne CC: 07-020056-FC
COREY DESHAWN GASTON,
Defendant,
and
YOU WALK BAIL BOND AGENCY,
Surety-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 13, 2012
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall
address: (1) whether a court’s failure to comply with the 7-day notice provision of
MCL 765.28 bars forfeiture of a bail bond posted by a surety; and (2) whether In re
Forfeiture of Bail Bond, 276 Mich App 482 (2007), holding that the 7-day notice
provision is directory rather than mandatory, was correctly decided.
Persons or groups interested in the determination of the issues presented in this
case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
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.
