Opinion

No. 142819.

June 1, 2011.

Court of Appeals No. 294687.


Summary Disposition.

Pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we reverse the part of the Court of Appeals decision vacating the defendant's sentence and remanding for resentencing and reinstate the sentence imposed by the Jackson Circuit Court. The defendant was convicted of armed robbery, a crime punishable with imprisonment for life or any term of years, and MCL 769.34(2)(b) does not apply when a defendant is convicted of a crime punishable with imprisonment for life or any term of years because the minimum will never exceed 2/3 of the statutory maximum of life.
