Michigan Court of Appeals

1DissentR. M. Maher, P. J.

I do not agree that the court was not bound by the limitations of People v Tanner, 387 Mich 683; 199 NW2d 202 (1972). Defendant is only a repeat and not an habitual offender. Accordingly, on the authority of People v Redwine, 73 Mich App 83; 250 NW2d 550 (1976), People v Reginald Harris, 80 Mich App 228; 263 NW2d 40 (1977), and People v Reese, 83 Mich App 186; 268 NW2d 340 (1978), the sentence should be modified to a term of 20 months to 30 months, to reflect the mandate of People v Tanner, supra.
