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.
