People v. Sims

Supreme Court of Michigan
Aug 27, 1971
385 Mich. 621 (Mich. 1971)

Opinion

No. 20 June Term 1971, Docket No. 52,831.

Decided August 27, 1971. Certiorari denied by United States Supreme Court April 17, 1972.

Appeal from Court of Appeals, Division 1, Lesinski, C.J., and Quinn and V.J. Brennan, JJ., affirming Wayne, Edward S. Piggins, J. Submitted June 22, 1971. (No. 20 June Term 1971, Docket No. 52,831.) Decided August 27, 1971. Certiorari denied by United States Supreme Court April 17, 1972.

23 Mich. App. 194 affirmed.

Thomas Sims and Leonard Perry were convicted of carrying dangerous weapons without a license in a motor vehicle. Defendants appealed to the Court of Appeals. Affirmed. Defendants appeal. Affirmed.

Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Robert A. Derengoski, Solicitor General, William L. Cahalan, Prosecuting Attorney, Dominick R. Carnovale, Chief, Appellate Department, and Luvenia D. Dockett, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for the people. Arthur J. Tarnow (State Appellate Defender), for defendants on appeal.


When the application for leave to review People v. Sims ( 23 Mich. App. 194) came to consideration and discussion last year, I thought the opinion of Division 1 so right both of reasoning and result as to justify an open dissent against grant of the application. That was done by note appended to the Court's order of grant. See 384 Mich. 780.

Formal submission of the appeal granted leaves me the more impressed that no error, reversible or otherwise, was or now is disclosed. I would adopt the opinion of Appeals Judge V.J. BRENNAN and therefore vote for summary affirmance.

ADAMS, T.E. BRENNAN, SWAINSON and WILLIAMS, JJ., concurred with BLACK, J.

T.M. KAVANAGH, C.J., and T.G. KAVANAGH, J., concurred in the result.
