Plaintiff-Appellee,
v SC: 154592
COA: 327375
Bay CC: 13-010011-FH
JOEL IRWING WILSON,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the August 23, 2016
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in
lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REVERSE that part of the judgment of the Court of
Appeals remanding this case to the trial court for a hearing pursuant to People v
Lockridge, 498 Mich 358 (2015), and we REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for
plenary review of the defendant’s claim that his sentence was disproportionate under the
standard set forth in People v Milbourn, 435 Mich 630, 636 (1990). See People v
Steanhouse, 500 Mich 453, 460-461 (2017). 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.
We do not retain jurisdiction.
CLEMENT, J., did not participate.
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.
