STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED October 31, 1997 Plaintiff-Appellee, v No. 191438 Ingham Circuit Court LC No. 95-069195 FH SHERMAN ALAN SIGNS, Defendant-Appellant. Before: Holbrook, Jr., P.J., and Michael J. Kelly and Gribbs, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Defendant was convicted by a jury of uttering and publishing, MCL 750.249; MSA 28.446, and was sentenced to serve an enhanced prison term of ten to twenty years, MCL 769.11; MSA 28.1083. He appeals as of right and we affirm. Even assuming that the trial court abused its discretion in sustaining the prosecutor’s objection to a question posed to the defense witness on redirect examination, see MRE 602; People v Holleman, 138 Mich App 108, 114-115; 358 NW2d 897 (1984), the error was harmless where the trial court’s action excluded merely cumulative evidence, the witness having testified without objection during direct examination that, to his knowledge, there was no way for defendant to have known that the check was stolen and forged, People v Sabin, 223 Mich App 530, 540; ___ NW2d ___ (1997). Affirmed. /s/ Donald E. Holbrook, Jr. /s/ Michael J. Kelly /s/ Roman S. Gribbs -1
