Opinion
No. 135918.
March 26, 2008.
Court of Appeals No. 281594.
Summary Dispositions March 26, 2008.
Pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we vacate the November 21, 2007, and January 31, 2008, orders of the Court of Appeals and we remand this case to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration of whether the Court of Appeals lacked jurisdiction over the respondent's claim of appeal. On remand, the Court of Appeals shall address the Macomb Circuit Court's decision to mail notice of the termination of the respondent's parental rights and the advice of appellate rights form to respondent's attorney, rather than to respondent, as required by MCR 3.977(1)(1). We do not retain jurisdiction.
I would reverse and remand to reinstate the appeal because MCR 3.997(I)(1) was violated.
