COURT OF APPEALS
JOSEPH W. STROUP and SALLY BATEMAN
STROUP,
UNPUBLISHED
Plaintiff,
v
No. 195937
Kalamazoo Circuit Court
LC No. A 95-2820 PD
SANDY K. DERBY,
Defendant-Appellee,
and
JENNIFER STROUP,
Defendant,
and
WALSH & WALSH, PC and RICHARD C.
WALSH,
Appellants.
Before: Markey, P.J., and Kelly and Whitbeck, JJ.
KELLY, J. (concurring in part and dissenting in part).
I concur in the majority opinion to vacate the award of sanctions, but dissent as to the decision
to remand. No remand was requested, no cross-appeal was filed, no creative extension of our powers
of review is necessary.
The analogy drawn by the per curiam footnote 4 seems to limp as the pedagogues say. A
remand for a new trial in a criminal case is hortatory. We remand for further proceedings left mainly to
the prosecutor. Anything appropriate can happen. We do not ordinarily scratch out an
-1
elaborate scenario for the edification of the lower court where counsel for the parties have not identified
such post-appellate proceedings as authorized and appropriate.
I would reverse.
/s/ Michael J. Kelly
