In <a href="http://publicdocs.courts.mi.gov:81/SCT/PUBLIC/ORDERS/20160401_S152562_75_01_152562_2016-04-01_or.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>People v. Roark</em></a>, No. 152562, the Michigan Supreme Court granted mini-oral argument on the application for leave to appeal to consider three issues: first, whether the defendant, who pled guilty to criminal sexual conduct in the first degree (“CSC-I”), was accurately advised of the direct consequences of his guilty plea, which included lifetime electronic monitoring; second, whether the defendant has demonstrated actual prejudice pursuant to MCR 6.508(D)(3)(b); and three, whether the defendant must demonstrate that he would not have pleaded guilty if he had known about the lifetime electronic monitoring requirement. The Court of Appeals <a href="http://publicdocs.courts.mi.gov:81/OPINIONS/FINAL/COA/20151020_C316467_70_316467.OPN.PDF" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">held</a> that the defendant was entitled to withdraw his plea because the trial court failed to advise him of mandatory lifetime electronic monitoring, which rendered his plea involuntary.
