PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff–Appellee, v. Kenneth L. ANDERSON, Defendant–Appellant.
Order
By order of April 28, 2015, the application for leave to appeal the June 3, 2014 order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in Montgomery v. Louisiana, cert. gtd. 575 U.S. ––––, 135 S.Ct. 1546, 191 L.Ed.2d 635 (2015). On order of the Court, the case having been decided on January 25, 2016, 577 U.S. ––––, 136 S.Ct. 718, 193 L.Ed.2d 599 (2016), the application is again considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the sentence of the Wayne Circuit Court for the defendant's first-degree murder conviction, and we REMAND this case to the trial court for resentencing on that conviction pursuant to MCL 769.25 and MCL 769.25a. See Montgomery, supra; Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. ––––, 132 S.Ct. 2455, 183 L.Ed.2d 407 (2012). 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. The motion to stay the proceedings is DENIED. The motion to compel the prosecutor to produce exculpatory materials is DENIED.
We do not retain jurisdiction.
