                           COURT OF APPEALS

PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN,                                    UNPUBLISHED
                                                                    March 19, 2019
               Plaintiff-Appellee,

v                                                                   No. 341504
                                                                    Manistee Circuit Court
SAMUEL DARNEL HARPER,                                               LC No. 17-004727-FH

               Defendant-Appellant.

Before: STEPHENS, P.J., and GLEICHER and BOONSTRA, JJ.

BOONSTRA, J. (concurring).

       I concur in the result reached by the majority, and in its holding that defendant’s sentence
was proportionate and reasonable. I write separately only to reiterate my belief that the language
of “departure” sentences and the “extent of the departure” from our pre-Lockridge caselaw is of
questionable continuing utility after Lockridge and its progeny, for the reasons set for in my
concurring opinion in People v Lampe, ___ Mich App ___; ___ NW2d ___ (2019) (Docket
No. 342325) (BOONSTRA, J., concurring).

                                                            /s/ Mark T. Boonstra

                                                -1-
