PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Derek Maurice LEIGH, Defendant-Appellant.


Order

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the August 30, 2019 order of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court. For purposes of MCR 6.502(G)(1), the Court notes that, although the defendant’s motion has been styled as a motion for relief from judgment by the courts below, it should not be regarded as a motion for relief from judgment in any future case. The defendant actually filed a motion to correct presentence report, correct guidelines, and to resentence. The delayed application for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals was properly denied, but due to the lack of merit in the grounds presented, not under the rules of MCR 6.501, et seq.
