STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED February 1, 2018 Plaintiff-Appellee, v No. 320659 Wayne Circuit Court MARIO WILLIS, LC No. 09-028750-FC Defendant-Appellant. ON REMAND Before: HOEKSTRA, P.J., and JANSEN and METER, JJ. METER, J. (dissenting). I respectfully dissent. In my dissenting opinion of August 11, 2015, I explained that the trial court properly followed the principle of proportionality in sentencing defendant. People v Willis, unpublished opinion per curiam of the Court of Appeals, issued August 11, 2015 (Docket No. 320659) (METER, J., dissenting). The Supreme Court’s latest directive to address whether defendant’s sentence was disproportionate under the standard set forth in People v Milbourn,435 Mich 630
, 636; 461 NW2d 1 (1990), gives me no basis for altering this prior opinion. The sentence was proportionate to the “seriousness of the circumstances surrounding the offense and the offender.”Id.
I would affirm defendant’s sentence. /s/ Patrick M. Meter -1-
