T. M. Burns, J.
(dissenting). Respectfully, I dissent. In my opinion, the holding of the Michigan Supreme Court in its decision in People v Fountain, 407 Mich 96; 282 NW2d 168 (1979), is applicable to the instant case in all of its particulars. Therefore, I would reverse defendant’s conviction of being an habitual offender under the supplemental information that was not filed in compliance with the requirements of Fountain. I would, however, affirm defendant’s underlying convictions of felonious assault. Inasmuch as defendant originally was sentenced to concurrent terms of two years-eight months to four years imprisonment on each of these felonious assault convictions prior to being charged as a habitual offender, I would reinstate those original sentences rather than remand this case for resentencing.
