PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Ian Gunther LUCKER, Defendant-Appellant.
    SC: 158195 COA: 331986
    Supreme Court of Michigan.
    July 26, 2019
    Order
   On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the June 12, 2018 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REVERSE the judgment of the Court of Appeals, VACATE the sentence of the Berrien Circuit Court, and REMAND this case to the circuit court for resentencing. The circuit court's finding that the defendant had approximately 38 different convictions in 10 years, a characterization the Court of Appeals seemingly accepted, is not supported by the record. Accordingly, the circuit court sentenced the defendant on the basis of inaccurate information, and resentencing is required. See People v. Francisco , 474 Mich. 82, 89, 711 N.W.2d 44 (2006).

We further order that sentencing proceedings on remand be conducted before a different judge. We do not retain jurisdiction.

Markman, J. Although I concur in the majority's order of remand, I would not order that the sentencing proceedings on remand be conducted before a different judge.
