DEMETRIUS BRYANT,
Claimant-Appellee.
Before: Griffin, P.J., and Cavanagh and Fitzgerald, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Plaintiff appeals as of right the order granting claimant’s motion for summary disposition in this
forfeiture action under the controlled substances provisions of the Public Health Code, MCL
33.7521(f); MSA 14.15(7521)(f). We reverse and remand.
-1
Claimant’s motion for summary disposition was based upon the order of the trial court in the
underlying criminal proceedings, People v Demetrius Bryant, Wayne Circuit Court Docket No. 97
006290, quashing the search warrant. That ruling has since been reversed by this Court on appeal.
People v Demetrius Bryant, unpublished opinion per curiam of the Court of Appeals, issued
December 18, 1998 (Docket No. 209869). Accordingly, the dismissal ruling in the criminal case is no
longer binding. See In re Hamlet (After Remand), 225 Mich App 505, 519; 571 NW2d 750 (1997).
Reversed and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion and this Court’s
opinion in the underlying criminal case. The stay of proceedings previously granted by this Court is
dissolved. We do not retain jurisdiction.

/s/ Mark J. Cavanagh
