BARBARA ELLEN CARTER,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
By order of September 6, 2016, the prosecuting attorney was directed to answer
the application for leave to appeal the December 10, 2015 judgment of the Court of
Appeals. On order of the Court, the answer having been received, the application for
leave to appeal is again considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting
leave to appeal, we VACATE in part the Court of Appeals judgment and we REMAND
this case to that court for reconsideration in light of People v Stevens, 498 Mich 162
(2015). In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded
that the remaining questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.
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.
