PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff-Appellant/Cross-Appellee, v. Riley Andrew SPITLER, Defendant-Appellee/Cross-Appellant.
Order
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the June 20, 2017 judgment of the Court of Appeals and the application for leave to appeal as cross-appellant are considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for plenary consideration of the admissibility of each proffered statement under MRE 803(3). See People v. Fisher , 449 Mich. 441, 537 N.W.2d 577 (1995) ; People v. White , 401 Mich. 482, 257 N.W.2d 912 (1977). Although the Court of Appeals reviewed the admissibility of each proffered statement under MRE 803(1), 803(2) and 803(24), it neglected to consider MRE 803(3), which was the basis argued by the prosecuting attorney in the Court of Appeals for the admission of the testimony of all three witnesses. The application for leave to appeal as cross-appellant is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.
We do not retain jurisdiction.
