    Plaintiff-Appellant,
    v                                                                 SC: 153374

    MARIO WILLIS,
    Defendant-Appellee.
    _________________________________________/
    By order of July 26, 2016, the application for leave to appeal the February 12,
    2016 order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decisions in People
    v Steanhouse (Docket No. 152849) and People v Masroor (Docket Nos. 152946-8). On
    order of the Court, the cases having been decided on July 24, 2017, 
    500 Mich 453
     (2017),
    the application is again considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting
    leave to appeal, we VACATE that part of the order of the Court of Appeals remanding
    this case to the trial court for proportionality review and 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 whether the defendant’s sentence was disproportionate under the
    standard set forth in People v Milbourn, 
    435 Mich 630
    , 636 (1990). See People v
    Steanhouse, 500 Mich at 460-461.
    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.
