People v. Hatcher

Michigan Court of Appeals

Decided May 10, 1978No. Docket 77-851Published

1DissentM. J. Kelly, P. J.

I would affirm. I think the reason given in People v McClain, 81 Mich App 84; 264 NW2d 1 (1976), reversed, 402 Mich 824; 260 NW2d 287 (1977), was far more substantive than the reason given in the case at bar. This first came up after the defendant was refused a one-month delay in sentencing. It was the first time his attorney was made aware of it. See People v Bovee, 60 Mich App 727; 231 NW2d 529 (1975).
