STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED February 27, 2001 Plaintiff-Appellee, v CARL DONALD JACKSON, No. 219151 Oakland Circuit Court LC No. 98-163143-FH Defendant-Appellant. Before: Meter, P.J., and Neff and O’Connell, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Defendant appeals as of right from a jury conviction of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, MCL 750.227b; MSA 28.424(2),1 for which he was sentenced as an habitual offender, fourth offense, MCL 769.12; MSA 28.1084, to two years in prison. We affirm. Defendant’s sole issue on appeal is that his felony-firearm conviction must be reversed because the jury acquitted him of the underlying felony. While the verdict may have been inconsistent and illogical, that is not grounds for reversal. People v Lewis, 415 Mich 443, 452453; 330 NW2d 16 (1982). Affirmed. /s/ Patrick M. Meter /s/ Janet T. Neff /s/ Peter D. O’Connell 1 Defendant was acquitted of the underlying charge of felonious assault, MCL 750.82; MSA 28.277.
