ORDER

On order of the Court, the prosecutor's application for leave to appeal is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(F)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we MODIFY the judgment of the Court of Appeals.Since no determination has been made that the sentence is invalid, a resentencing is not required.In re Dana Jenkins, 438 Mich. 364, 475 N.W.2d 279(1991).On remand, the Oakland Circuit Court shall first determine, after reconsideration in light of People v. Milbourn, 435 Mich. 630, 461 N.W.2d 1(1990), whether a resentencing is appropriate.If it determines that a resentencing is appropriate, it shall then obtain the defendant's presence for that purpose.If it determines that a resentencing is not appropriate, its order shall contain an explanation of its decision.The defendant's delayed application for leave to appeal is also considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court.

We do not retain jurisdiction.
