PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. William Matthew WORKMAN, Defendant-Appellant.
Order
On order of the Court, the motion to amend application is GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal the March 5, 2020 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. Pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE Part VI of the judgment of the Court of Appeals. The defendant preserved his objection to the admission of unauthenticated business records. Although the Court of Appeals cited the standard for preserved evidentiary error, see People v. Lukity , 460 Mich. 484, 495-496, 596 N.W.2d 607 (1999), it appeared to apply the plain error standard governing unpreserved claims, see People v. Carines , 460 Mich. 750, 764, 597 N.W.2d 130 (1999). We REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration of this issue under the Lukity standard. 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.
