PEOPLE v. SAM, 482 Mich. 1072 (2008)

769 N.W.2d 227

No. 136756.Supreme Court of Michigan.
November 26, 2008.

Court of Appeals No. 285016.

Summary Dispositions November 26, 2008.

Pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we vacate defendant’s plea-based conviction of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor-third offense (OUIL 3rd), MCL 257.625(1), (9)(c), because the prosecution concedes that it could not have prosecuted defendant for this offense under the statute as it was written at the time of defendant’s offense. See People v New, 427 Mich 482, 491-492 (1986); People v Hammond, 187 Mich App 105, 110-113 (1991). We note that the November 29, 2007, judgment of sentence reflects a plea to the original charge of operating while intoxicated, causing serious impairment of a body function of another person, MCL 257.625(5); the discrepancy between the judgment of sentence and defendant’s actual plea to OUIL 3rd appears to have been the result of a clerical error. We reinstate the original charge of operating while intoxicated, causing serious impairment of a body function of another person, MCL 257.625(5), and remand this case to the Wayne Circuit Court for trial or for further proceedings consistent with this order. In all other respects, leave to appeal is denied, because we are not persuaded that the remaining questions presented should be reviewed by this Court. Court of Appeals No. 285016.
