  JEROME WALKER,
             Defendant-Appellant.
  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the January 15, 2015
  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 sentence of the Wayne 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, 577 US ___; 136 S. Ct. 718; 193 L. Ed. 2d 599 (2016). The motion to hold
  application in abeyance is treated as a motion to add issue and is GRANTED. The
  motions for peremptory reversal and for stay are DENIED. In all other respects, leave to
  appeal is DENIED, because the defendant has failed to meet the burden of establishing
  entitlement to relief under MCR 6.508(D).

        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.
