  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN,
            Plaintiff-Appellee,
  v
                                                                    SC: 153125
                                                                    COA: 319252
  DAVID MAURICE LYONS,                                              Macomb CC: 2013-000809-FC
           Defendant-Appellant.

  ____________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.
  The motion to supplement the application for leave to appeal is DENIED. The
  application for leave to appeal the October 22, 2015 judgment of the Court of Appeals is
  considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented
  should be reviewed by this Court. The motion to remand for resentencing is GRANTED,
  in part, and we REMAND this case to the Macomb Circuit Court to determine whether
  the court would have imposed a materially different sentence under the sentencing
  procedure described in People v Lockridge, 498 Mich. 358 (2015). On remand, the trial
  court shall follow the procedure described in Part VI of our opinion. If the trial court
  determines that it would have imposed the same sentence absent the unconstitutional
  constraint on its discretion, it may reaffirm the original sentence. If, however, the trial
  court determines that it would not have imposed the same sentence absent the
  unconstitutional constraint on its discretion, it shall resentence the defendant. The motion
  for peremptory reversal, the motions to remand, and the motion for reissuance of the
  judgment are DENIED.

         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.
