COA: 233294, Wayne CC: 98-010041-FY
On order of the Court, the delayed application for leave to appeal from the April 27, 2001 decision of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED limited to the question whether the failure to afford the defendant an opportunity to allocute at sentencing is harmless error in light of the fact that the sentence to be imposed was a part of the guilty plea agreement. See People v Berry, 409 Mich. 774 (1980).
Kelly, J., would remand to the trial court for allocution and resentencing.
