PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V ELMORE TIMS JR; PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN V ROGER D. KNEIP, 449 MICH 83 (1995): Appellee's Appendix

This Appellee's Appendix was produced as part of the legal proceedings for the consolidated cases of People v. Tims and People v. Kneip, decided by the Michigan Supreme Court in 1995. Published under the citation 449 Mich 83, these cases are significant in Michigan jurisprudence for addressing critical questions regarding the standards for judicial discretion and the interpretation of the Controlled Substances Act, specifically concerning the sentencing guidelines and the procedural requirements for appellate review in drug-related convictions.

The document was compiled by the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney to provide the justices with the necessary underlying trial transcripts, exhibits, and court orders required to deliberate on the issues raised by the defendants. As a formal legal brief, its design follows the rigid formatting requirements established by the Michigan Court Rules for appellate filings. While it lacks a named individual designer, it represents the standard documentary evidence submitted in high-level state litigation during the mid-1990s, serving primarily as an essential reference tool for legal researchers and practitioners studying the development of Michigan criminal law.
