COURT OF APPEALS
PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED
August 29, 2024
Plaintiff-Appellee,
v No. 367726
Shiawassee Circuit Court
JORDAN LEE HOISINGTON, LC No. 2022-007080-FH
Defendant-Appellant.
Before: REDFORD, P.J., and GADOLA, C.J., and RIORDAN, J.
GADOLA, C.J. (concurring).
I concur in the majority’s holding. I write separately to express my view that the trial court
more than adequately explained its rationale for imposing a significant departure sentence in this
case, which involved what in my view was utterly heinous conduct by the defendant-appellant. I
furthermore concur that the reasons the trial court gave for the departure sentence did not involve
improper considerations. But because the trial court, as the majority explains, failed to provide
adequate reasons for the extent of the departure sentence it imposed, see People v Steanhouse, 500
Mich 453, 471; 902 NW2d 327 (2017) (Steanhouse II), I concur in the decision to remand for
resentencing.
/s/ Michael F. Gadola
