In re TD, Minor. People of the State of Michigan, Petitioner–Appellee, v. TD, Respondent–Appellant.
Prior report: Mich.App., 2011 WL 2090903.
Order
By order of March 26, 2012, the prosecuting attorney was directed to answer the application for leave to appeal the May 26, 2011 judgment of the Court of Appeals. On order of the Court, the answer having been received, the application for leave to appeal is again considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the judgment of the Court of Appeals and DISMISS this application as moot. Respondent was removed from the sex offender registry by order of the Washtenaw Circuit Court on September 14, 2011, and is no longer required to register under the amended Sex Offenders Registration Act, MCL 28.721, et seq. Accordingly, the issue whether it would be constitutional to compel his registration has been rendered moot.
