People v. McKnight

3 Citing cases

  1. People v. Malone

    No. 331249 (Mich. Ct. App. Apr. 18, 2017)

    See also People v Givans, 227 Mich App 113, 125-126; 575 NW2d 84 (1997) (holding that a defendant was not entitled to a jail credit toward his sentence for a conviction in Jackson County from his incarceration for a separate Washtenaw County conviction, as "MCL 769.11b . . . provides that a defendant shall receive credit for the time he has served before sentencing for the offense of which he is convicted."); People v McKnight, 165 Mich App 66, 68-69; 418 NW2d 402 (1987) (applying Prieskorn, 424 Mich at 340). --------

  2. People v. Inman

    No. 308143 (Mich. Ct. App. Dec. 18, 2012)

    This Court, in several cases that followed, held that time spent in jail on unrelated charges does not qualify for sentence credit, see, e.g., People v Ovalle, 222 Mich App 463; 564 NW2d 147 (1997), even if those unrelated charges are dismissed as part of a plea bargain in the case for which the defendant later seeks credit. People v McKnight, 165 Mich App 66; 418 NW2d 402 (1987). Here, defendant was arrested on the charge for which he pleaded guilty on July 27, 2011.

  3. Sparks v. Rivard

    Case No. 2:12-cv-10309 (E.D. Mich. Oct. 23, 2012)

    11b; People v. Prieskorn, 424 Mich. 327, 344, 381 N.W.2d 646 (1985); and Petitioner seeks credit for the time served on the resisting and obstructing a police officer charge which was unrelated to his first-degree retail fraud case. That Petitioner pleaded guilty to the resisting and obstructing charge as part of the same plea bargain in which he pleaded guilty to the first-degree retail fraud charge does not change the result because the offenses were unrelated. See People v. McKnight, 165 Mich. App. 66, 68-70, 418 N.W.2d 402 (1987). Because Michigan law does not create a right to the sentencing credit that Petitioner seeks, his claim is not cognizable on habeas review.
