  CARLOS ARISTA DE LA ROSA,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the March 20, 2013 order
  of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of
  granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Macomb Circuit Court for it to
  correct the judgment of sentence by striking the language prohibiting the defendant’s
  deportation until he serves 17.5 years. Although the defendant is not currently eligible
  for early parole and deportation pursuant to MCL 791.234b, the language of the statute is
  mandatory, and a sentencing judge may not prevent application of the statute if a
  defendant eventually becomes eligible.

                           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.
