  ROLANDO LANDRY FARRIS,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 15, 2017
  order of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Monroe County
  Prosecuting Attorney to answer the application for leave to appeal within 28 days after
  the date of this order. In particular, the prosecuting attorney shall address: (1) whether
  the trial court’s preliminary sentence evaluation for probation with no more than one year
  in jail was for a sentence that the court lacked authority to impose for the defendant’s no
  contest plea to delivery/manufacture of less than 50 grams of a controlled substance, per
  MCL 333.7401(2)(a)(iv); see People v Davis, 392 Mich 221 (1974); and (2) if so, what
  the appropriate remedy would be, if any, under the circumstances of this case. See
  MCL 761.2; MCL 771.1; People v Wiley, 472 Mich 153 (2005); People v Cobbs, 443
  Mich 276, 283-285 (1993).

        The application for leave to appeal remains pending.

                           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.
