  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the June 7, 2018 order of
  the Court of Appeals is 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 consideration, as on
  leave granted, of whether the Parole Board clearly abused its discretion by granting
  parole. We note that a similar issue was presented in In re Parole of Layman (Docket
  No. 157104), which we remanded to the Court of Appeals for consideration as on leave
  granted by order dated April 3, 2018, and which was decided in In re Parole of Layman,
  unpublished per curiam opinion of the Court of Appeals, issued September 20, 2018
  (Docket No. 341112). Further, we note that a similar issue is presented in In re Parole of
  Plunkett (Docket No. 159032), which we remanded to the Court of Appeals for
  consideration as on leave granted by order dated June 12, 2019. 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.

         VIVIANO, J. did not participate because he presided in the circuit court as the
  sentencing judge in the underlying criminal case.




                           I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
                     foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
