  HENRY ALBERT MOORE, JR.,
             Defendant-Appellant.
  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the February 4, 2019
  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 Eaton Circuit Court. Sentencing
  courts must “consult the applicable guidelines range and take it into account when
  imposing a sentence” and shall “justify the sentence imposed in order to facilitate
  appellate review.” People v Lockridge, 498 Mich 358, 392 (2015). See also People v
  Smith, 482 Mich 292 (2008). On remand, the court shall either issue an order that
  articulates why the 49-month departure is warranted, or resentence the defendant.

        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.
