PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Aaron Antwaun ROBINSON, Defendant-Appellant.
Order
By order of October 2, 2018, the application for leave to appeal the December 28, 2017 judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decisions in People v. Beck and People v. Dixon-Bey . On order of the Court, Beck having been decided on July 29, 2019, 504 Mich. ––––, 931 N.W.2d 302 (2019), and leave to appeal having been denied in Dixon-Bey on July 29, 2019, 504 Mich. ––––, 931 N.W.2d 302 (2019), the application is again 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 we REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration in light of Beck . In addition, the Court of Appeals shall analyze: (1) whether defendant’s argument pertaining to the consecutive nature of his sentences is outside the scope of the remand for "resentencing"; and (2) if not, whether the trial court articulated an appropriate basis for imposing consecutive sentences. See People v. Norfleet , 317 Mich. App. 649, 897 N.W.2d 195 (2016). In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the remaining questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.
