Cynar, J.
(concurring). In concurring to reverse the habitual offender conviction, I would rely solely on People v Hendrick, 398 Mich 410; 247 NW2d 840 (1976). The prosecutor filed a supplemental information at the time of sentencing for armed robbery, charging defendant with being an habitual offender in violation of MCL 769.13; MSA 28.1085. At the time of the sentencing, the defendant had a prior felony record in the jurisdiction in which the armed robbery charge was brought. Thus, the prosecutor was necessarily in possession of reliable information regarding the previous conviction prior to trial on the armed robbery charge, and his post-trial filing of an habitual offender information was not prompt or timely under Hendrick.
In all other respects I concur in both the reasoning and result of the majority opinion.
