Assessment of court costs pursuant to MCL 769.1k(1)(b)(iii); People v Lewis

Summary

In an order in lieu of granting leave to appeal, the court vacated the part of the Court of Appeals judgment (see e-Journal # 72753 in the 4/14/20 edition) concerning the trial court’s assessment of court costs under MCL 769.1k(1)(b)(iii), and remanded the case to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration. The court instructed the Court of Appeals to hold this case in abeyance pending its decision in Lewis, and after it decides Lewis, to reconsider this case in light of that decision. It denied leave to appeal in all other respects because it was not persuaded that it should review the remaining questions presented.
