  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN,
            Plaintiff-Appellee,
  v                                                                 SC: 155171

  BRADLEY JAMES INMAN,
             Defendant-Appellant.
  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 27, 2016
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. Pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of
  granting leave to appeal, and in light of the prosecutor’s concession that the defendant in
  this case should receive relief under People v Lockridge, 498 Mich. 358 (2015), we
  REVERSE in part the judgment of the Court of Appeals, and we REMAND this case to
  the Oakland Circuit Court to determine whether the court would have imposed a
  materially different sentence under the sentencing procedure described in Lockridge, 498
Mich. at 394-397. On remand, the trial court shall follow the procedure described in Part
  VI of our opinion. If the trial court determines that it would have imposed the same
  sentence absent the unconstitutional constraint on its discretion, it may reaffirm the
  original sentence. If, however, the trial court determines that it would not have imposed
  the same sentence absent the unconstitutional constraint on its discretion, it shall
  resentence the defendant. 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.

        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.
