*377Ryan, J.
I concur in the result reached by the majority.
In People v Hatt, 384 Mich 302; 181 NW2d 912 (1970), this Court declared that "[t]he procedures for dealing with a recidivistic charge, as delineated by Judge Levin in People v Stratton [13 Mich App 350; 164 NW2d 555 (1968)], are approved”. Thus prosecutors have been on notice, at least since 1970, that the Stratton procedure, now come to be known as the "Fountain policy” was the preferred, correct, indeed "approved” procedure for proceeding against alleged habitual offenders.
