The Michigan Supreme Court issued an order on September 12, 2007, regarding the case of Tyjuan Jose Roland. The Court reviewed an application for leave to appeal from a March 1, 2007, order of the Court of Appeals. Instead of granting leave, the Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals' decision, vacated the sentence imposed by the Wayne Circuit Court, and remanded the case for resentencing. The Supreme Court found that the trial court had incorrectly imposed the sentence for felon in possession of a firearm (MCL 750.224f) to be served consecutively with sentences for carrying a concealed weapon (MCL 750.227) and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony (MCL 750.227b). On remand, the trial court is directed to impose the felony-firearm sentence to run consecutively only to the felon-in-possession sentence, while ordering concurrent sentences for the convictions of carrying a concealed weapon and felon in possession of a firearm. The Court denied leave to appeal on all other issues, stating that they were not persuaded to review the remaining questions. The Court does not retain jurisdiction over the case.
