Court of Appeals No. 269209.
Leave to Appeal Denied July 23, 2008.
The denial is without prejudice to the defendant's right to file a motion for relief from judgment pursuant to MCR 6.500 et seq. that may include the issues whether the 15-year maximum sentence represents a violation of the plea agreement, which the circuit court in part characterized as the defendant's agreeing to plead guilty to "the charge of perjury with the understanding that the initial sentence would be limited to a maximum of five years in prison," and whether counsel was ineffective for failing to object on this ground.
