People v. Getman

Order Michigan Supreme Court Lansing, Michigan December 27, 2005 Clifford W. Taylor, Chief Justice 129784 Michael F. Cavanagh Elizabeth A. Weaver Marilyn Kelly Maura D. Corrigan PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, Robert P. Young, Jr. Plaintiff-Appellee, Stephen J. Markman, Justices v SC: 129784 COA: 261626 Calhoun CC: 03-000505-FH JAMES RICHARD GETMAN, Defendant-Appellant. _________________________________________/ On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 14, 2005 order of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the Calhoun Circuit Court’s order of February 10, 2005, and REMAND this case to the Calhoun Circuit Court for consideration of the merits of defendant’s motion for relief from judgment filed on December 13, 2004. Because the court did not rule on defendant’s motion to withdraw guilty plea filed on August 24, 2004, or defendant’s motion for relief from judgment filed on September 14, 2004, the Calhoun Circuit Court erred in dismissing defendant’s motion for relief from judgment filed on December 13, 2004. We do not retain jurisdiction. 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.
