SC: 126113, COA: 253634.
Summary Dispositions.
In lieu of granting leave to appeal, the case is remanded to the Wayne Circuit Court for a determination whether defendant received good-time credit from the county sheriff under MCL 51.282(2) when he was incarcerated in 2000. MCR 7.302(G)(1). If the trial court determines that defendant was awarded good-time credit, the court shall amend the judgment of sentence by crediting defendant's sentence with the number of good-time days he was awarded, and forward a copy of the amended judgment of sentence to the Department of Corrections. Jurisdiction is not retained.
CORRIGAN, C.J. I concur in the decision to remand to the trial court for consideration of the amount of good-time credit to be awarded. Defendant contends in this Court that he is entitled to 143 days of credit; the authority for this claim is not obvious. Under MCL 51.282(2), it appears that defendant should have received good-time credit according to the following ratio: one day of good-time credit for every six days of sentence served. Defendant served 222 days, so it appears that under the statute he would be entitled to 37 days of credit.
