Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the January 19, 2016
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Saginaw County
Prosecuting Attorney to answer the application for leave to appeal within 28 days after
the date of this order. In particular, we direct the prosecutor to address whether the trial
court erred by imposing 20-year maximum sentences for each of the defendant’s two
second-degree criminal sexual conduct convictions, where the statutory maximum
sentence was 15 years. MCL 750.520c(2)(a).
The application for leave to appeal remains pending.
I, Larry S. Royster, 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.
