v SC: 153555 COA: 324189 Genesee CC: 13-034170-FC SHUKUR TEROME BROWN, Defendant-Appellant.

_________________________________________/

On order of the Court, the motion for reconsideration of this Court’s September 6, 2016 order is considered, and it is GRANTED. We VACATE our order dated September 6, 2016. On reconsideration, the application for leave to appeal the February 25, 2016 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Genesee Circuit Court to determine whether the court would have imposed a materially different sentence under the sentencing procedure described in People v Lockridge, 498 Mich 358 (2015). On remand, the trial court shall follow the procedure described in Part VI of our opinion. If the trial court determines that it would have imposed the same sentence absent the unconstitutional restraint on its discretion, it may affirm the original sentence. If, however, the trial court determines that it would not have imposed the same sentence absent the unconstitutional restraint on its discretion, it shall resentence the defendant. In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the remaining questions 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. December 28, 2016 p1212 Clerk
