Head Matter:
People v Darrell Carter,
No. 151731; Court of Appeals No. 326700.

Opinion:
Pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we remand this case to the St. Clair Circuit Court to determine whether the court would have imposed a materially different sentence under the sentencing procedure described in People v Lockridge, 498 Mich 358 (2015). On remand, the trial court shall follow the procedure described in Part VI of our opinion. If the trial court determines that it would have imposed the same sentence absent the unconstitutional constraint on its discretion, it may reaffirm the original sentence. If, however, the trial court determines that it would not have imposed the same sentence absent the unconstitutional constraint on its discretion, it shall resentence the defendant. We do not retain jurisdiction.
