Narrative Opinion Summary
The Michigan Supreme Court issued an order on December 21, 2012, regarding the case of People of the State of Michigan v. Jean Pierre Orlewicz, identified as SC: 143453 and COA: 285672. The Court granted a motion to add an issue to the case. Following a prior order from May 21, 2012, which held the application for leave to appeal in abeyance pending the outcome of People v. Vaughn, the Court has now remanded the case to the Wayne Circuit Court for consideration of the defendant’s argument based on the precedent set in Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 132 (2012). The application for leave to appeal is denied concerning all other issues, as the Court is not persuaded that the remaining questions warrant review. The order was certified as a true and complete copy by Clerk Corbin R. Davis.
