v SC: 150092
COA: 322748
Berrien CC: 2013-016473-FC
ARTHUR B. JONES, JR.,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
By order of February 3, 2015, the application for leave to appeal the August 21,
2014 order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People
v Lockridge (Docket No. 149073). On order of the Court, the case having been decided
on July 29, 2015, 498 Mich. 358 (2015), the application is again considered. Pursuant to
MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the
Berrien Circuit Court for consideration of the defendant’s issue regarding the assessment
of court costs. In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not
persuaded that the remaining question presented should be reviewed by this Court.
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.
