  GREGORY WINES,
          Defendant-Appellant.

  ____________________________________/

         By order of April 28, 2015, the application for leave to appeal the January 25,
  2013 order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in
  Montgomery v Louisiana, cert gtd 575 US ___; 135 S. Ct. 1546; 191 L. Ed. 2d 635 (2015).
  On order of the Court, the case having been decided on January 25, 2016, 577 US __; 136
S. Ct. 718; 193 L. Ed. 2d 599 (2016), the application is again considered. Pursuant to
  MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the sentence of the
  Kent Circuit Court on the defendant’s first-degree murder conviction, and we REMAND
  this case to the trial court for resentencing on that conviction pursuant to MCL 769.25
  and MCL 769.25a. See, Miller v Alabama, 567 US ___; 132 S. Ct. 2455; 183 L. Ed. 2d 407
  (2012); Montgomery v Louisiana, supra. In all other respects, leave to appeal is
  DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the remaining question presented should be
  reviewed by this Court.

        We do not retain jurisdiction.

                          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.
