Plaintiff-Appellee,
v SC: 151037
COA: 323993
Wayne CC: 84-004678-FC
TIMOTHY JORDAN,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 19, 2014
order of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of
granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the sentence of the Wayne Circuit Court on the
defendant’s first-degree murder conviction, and we REMAND this case to the trial court
for resentencing on that conviction pursuant to MCL 769.25 and MCL 769.25a. See
Miller v Alabama, 567 US ___; 132 S Ct 2455; 183 L Ed 2d 407 (2012); and
Montgomery v Louisiana, 577 US ___; 136 S Ct 718; 193 L Ed 2d 599 (2016). We note
that the Court of Appeals erred in dismissing the defendant’s delayed application for
leave to appeal under MCR 6.502(G) because this was the defendant’s first motion for
relief from judgment since August 1, 1995.
We do not retain jurisdiction.
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.
