PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. KELLY ANNETTE JACKSON, Defendant-Appellant.


Order

Robert P. Young, Jr., Chief Justice Michael F. Cavanagh Stephen J. Markman Mary Beth Kelly Brian K. Zahra Bridget M. McCormack David F. Viviano, Justices COA: 320286
Genesee CC: 13-033600-FH

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 1, 2014 order of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the sentence of the Genesee Circuit Court, and we REMAND this case to that court for resentencing. OV 2, MCL 777.32, must be scored at 0 points where the incendiary device was part of the process of manufacturing methamphetamine and was not possessed or used as a weapon. People v Crabtree, 493 Mich 878 (2012), citing People v Ball, 297 Mich App 121 (2012). In addition, the five-point score for OV 15, MCL 777.45, was proper on the ground that there was evidence of delivery of the drugs. MCL 777.45(1)(h). A proper reading of MCL 777.45(1)(h) reveals two alternative bases for scoring that OV at five points: (1) when the offense involved the delivery or possession with intent to deliver marihuana or any other controlled substance or counterfeit controlled substance; and (2) when the offense involved possession of controlled substances or counterfeit controlled substances having a value or under such circumstances as to indicate trafficking. In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the remaining question presented should be reviewed by this Court.

I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
