PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
v SC: 165719
COA: 353827
Alpena CC: 19-009297-FH
ANDREW MICHAEL SWOFFER-SAULS,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
By order of December 26, 2024, the application for leave to appeal the April 6, 2023
judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People v
Kardasz (Docket No. 165008). On order of the Court, the case having been decided on
December 19, 2025, ___ Mich ___ (2025), the application is again considered. Pursuant
to MCR 7.305(I)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the judgment of the
Court of Appeals and REMAND this case to that court, which shall hold this case in
abeyance pending its decisions in People v Malone (Docket No. 166375), People v Spencer
(Docket No. 169399), and People v O’Connor (Docket No. 166060). After Malone,
Spencer, and O’Connor are decided, the Court of Appeals shall reconsider this case in light
of Kardasz and the decisions in Malone, Spencer, and O’Connor.
ZAHRA, J., would deny leave to appeal.
