  LONNELL VENTURA HAYWOOD,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the March 11, 2015 order
  of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of
  granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the sentence of the Wayne Circuit Court on the
  defendant’s first-degree murder conviction, and we REMAND this case to the trial court
  for resentencing on that conviction pursuant to MCL 769.25 and MCL 769.25a. See
  Montgomery v Louisiana, 577 US ___; 136 S Ct 718; 193 L Ed 2d 599 (2016), and Miller
  v Alabama, 567 US ___; 132 S Ct 2455; 183 L Ed 2d 407 (2012). 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.
