Per Curiam.
Defendant was arrested in connection with his participation in the purchase of cocaine by an undercover police officer and was charged with delivery of a controlled substance. MCL 333.7401(1), (2)(a)(iv); MSA 14.15(7401X1), (2)(a)(iv), and MCL 333.7214(a)(iv); MSA 14.15(7214)(a)(iv). Defendant filed a motion to quash the information, alleging that the statutory provisions under which he was charged violated the title-object clause of the Michigan Constitution. Const 1963, art 4, § 24. This motion, together with similar motions presented in six unrelated cases, was heard by a special panel of four Oakland County Circuit Court judges. The panel held that Article 7 of the Public Health Code, MCL 333.7101-333.7545; MSA 14.15(7101)-14.15(7545), was unconstitutional, and it granted defendants’ motions. From an appeal by the prosecution, we reverse and remand for trial. People v Trupiano, 97 Mich App 416; 296 NW2d 49 (1980).
