  AARON ANTWAUN ROBINSON,
          Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         By order of October 2, 2018, the application for leave to appeal the December 28,
  2017 judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decisions in
  People v Beck (Docket No. 152934) and People v Dixon-Bey (Docket No. 156746). On
  order of the Court, Beck having been decided on July 29, 2019, 504 Mich ___ (2019), and
  leave to appeal having been denied in Dixon-Bey on July 29, 2019, 504 Mich ___ (2019),
  the application is again considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting
  leave to appeal, we VACATE the judgment of the Court of Appeals and we REMAND
  this case to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration in light of Beck. In addition, the
  Court of Appeals shall analyze: (1) whether defendant’s argument pertaining to the
  consecutive nature of his sentences is outside the scope of the remand for “resentencing”;
  and (2) if not, whether the trial court articulated an appropriate basis for imposing
  consecutive sentences. See People v Norfleet, 317 Mich App 649 (2016). In all other
  respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the remaining
  questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.

                           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.
