  WALTER DAVID JONES,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the February 10, 2015
  order of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of
  granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the sentence of the Wayne Circuit Court for the
  defendant’s first-degree murder conviction, and we REMAND this case to the trial court
  for resentencing on that conviction under MCL 769.25 and MCL 769.25a. See Miller v
  Alabama, 567 US __; 132 S Ct 2455; 183 L Ed 2d 407 (2012), and Montgomery v
  Louisiana, 577 US __; 136 S Ct 718; 193 L Ed 2d 599 (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.

        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.
