People of the State of Michigan v. Bobby Jay Fisk

Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court denied leave to appeal from the Court of Appeals judgment in People of the State of Michigan v. Bobby Jay Fisk. A concurrence stated that resentencing would have no practical effect because Fisk received multiple life sentences, while a dissent argued that Michigan's sentencing guidelines require the trial court to score every felony and justify any departure from the applicable guidelines.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Michigan's sentencing guidelines require the trial court to score every felony conviction, including lower-class felonies, when concurrent sentences are imposed.
2. Whether the defendant's sentences exceeding statutory maximums required adjustment and corresponding limits on minimum sentences.
