            Plaintiff-Appellee,
  v                                                                SC: 156964

                                                                   Oakland CC: 2014-250304-FH
  TUVOIL DESHAWN BELL,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the November 8, 2017
  order of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of
  granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the July 30, 2014 amended judgment of sentence,
  and we REMAND this case to the Oakland Circuit Court to reinstate the June 16, 2014
  judgment of sentence. Because the June 16, 2014 judgment of sentence was valid under
  People v Williams, 294 Mich. App. 461 (2011), the Oakland Circuit Court lacked the
  authority to correct the sentence. MCR 6.429(A) (“[T]he court may not modify a valid
  sentence after it has been imposed except as provided by law.”)

                          I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
                    foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
