IN RE M. D., Minor. People of the State of Michigan, Petitioner-Appellee, v. M. D., Respondent-Appellant.
Order
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the August 18, 2022 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the judgment of the Court of Appeals and REMAND this case to that court to address whether the 2021 amendments to the Sex Offenders Registration Act (MCL 28.722(a)(iii)) and the juvenile code (MCL 712A.28), when read together, preclude the respondent from having to register as a sex offender. More specifically, the Court of Appeals shall address whether the respondent, whose case was adjudicated before January 1, 2021, is no longer required to register as a sex offender because his order of disposition is not "open to the general public" under MCL 712A.28 and therefore is not a "conviction" under MCL 28.722(a)(iii).
We do not retain jurisdiction.
