PEOPLE v. NEWLAND, 112196 (Mich. 4-28-1999)

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal from the May 1, 1998 decision of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(F)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the defendant's conviction of felony-firearm and REMAND for a new trial as to that charge. It was error not to instruct the jury on the law by which the verdict was to be controlled. People v. Lambert, 395 Mich. 296, 304 (1975). In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED.
