Upon reviewing the case of People v. Smith 437 Mich. 293 (1991), we find that the defendant Ricky Smith; an adult at the time of the commission of the offenses in question, was a habitual juvenile offender; possessing a juvenile record which included twelve juvenile entries including seven prior felonies, three misdemeanors, was charged, pleaded guilty, and convicted of breaking and entering with the intent to commit larceny and being a habitual offender. As a result of the admission of guilt by Smith, he was sentenced to 3 ½ to 10 years, however, the sentence was vacated after it was determined that Smith was a habitual offender, where the current offense constituted his 4th offense. (Justlaw) Therefore, as a result of the juvenile offenses being taken into consideration for sentencing, Smith received a sentence of 6 to 30 years as a habitual offender. Smith’s argument comes from the admission of his juvenile criminal record which was referenced in the presentencing investigative report, citing that pursuant to former MCR 5.913 which indicates that “the juvenile record of a former offender was expunged at the age of twenty-seven”,(justlaw) and as such, should

The issue presented in People v. Smith (1991) by the Supreme Court of Michigan is whether the inclusion in the presentence investigative report of an expunged juvenile record, in this case of defendant, Ricky Franklin Smith, requires, under MCR 5.913, presently MCR 5.925(E), that Smith be resentenced (People v. Smith, 1991). The issue involved was that Smith argued that he should be resentenced due to the inclusion of the pre-sentence investigative report of his previously expunged juvenile record. In People v. Smith (1991), it is stated that, “The purpose of the court rule,

Interestingly, SB 321 does not incorporate an express personal right of action for offended personnel. If an employer preserves a policy that veto its employees from possessing or keeping otherwise legally owned firearms in their automobile, that policy probably would be contradictory to SB 321. It can be difficult to conceptualize that the Texas Supreme Court would acknowledge an exception to the policy of employment at will for personnel who alleges wrongful termination if the employee is fired for possession of legally owned firearm in his or her automobile. In absenteeism of an express personal right of action, it is obvious that the employee 's only option would be to disclose the employer 's policy to the Texas Attorney General or
