  ISAAC JAMES RODGERS,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 19, 2018
  order of the Court of Appeals is considered. Pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of
  granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for
  consideration, as on leave granted, of whether: (1) this Court’s decision in People v
  Comer, 500 Mich. 278 (2017), constituted a retroactive change in the law such that an
  exception to the ban on successive motions for relief from judgment applies, MCR
  6.502(G)(2); (2) the Oakland Circuit Court lacked jurisdiction, under Comer, to amend
  the January 14, 2008 judgment of sentence on its own initiative, after entry, to add
  lifetime electronic monitoring; and (3) if Comer does not constitute a retroactive change
  in the law, but the trial court lacked jurisdiction to amend the judgment of sentence, the
  defendant is entitled to relief on his successive motion for relief from judgment or relief
  is barred by MCR 6.502(G).

                           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.
