  NEAL HAVILAND ERICKSON,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

          By order of July 29, 2014, the application for leave to appeal the January 2, 2014
  order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People v
  Lockridge (Docket No. 149073). On order of the Court, the case having been decided on
  July 29, 2015, 498 Mich 358 (2015), the application is again considered. Pursuant to
  MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the
  Ogemaw Circuit Court to determine whether the court would have imposed a materially
  different sentence under the sentencing procedure described in Lockridge. On remand,
  the trial court shall follow the procedure described in Part VI of our opinion. If the trial
  court determines that it would have imposed the same sentence absent the
  unconstitutional constraint on its discretion, it may reaffirm the original sentence. If,
  however, the trial court determines that it would not have imposed the same sentence
  absent the unconstitutional constraint on its discretion, it shall resentence the defendant.
  In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the
  remaining question presented should be reviewed by this Court.

         We do not retain jurisdiction.




                           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.
