Allen, J.
(dissenting). As a member of the panel in both People v Carmichael, 86 Mich App 418; 272 NW2d 667 (1978), and In re Bay County Prosecutor, 102 Mich App 543; 302 NW2d 225 (1980), I must disagree. The instant case involves the simple shoplifting of a $35 ski jacket. I do not believe the Legislature intended simple shoplifting, a 90-day misdemeanor, to be prosecuted under the larceny in a building statute.
