Jones v. Genesee Circuit Court Judge — Failure to Hold Probable Cause Conference Does Not Void Circuit Court Jurisdiction
The Michigan Court of Appeals affirmed dismissal of a habeas corpus petition, holding that the failure to hold a probable cause conference under MCL 766.4 and MCR 6.108 does not create a jurisdictional defect that voids a subsequent criminal conviction, because the conference is waivable by agreement and waivable procedural requirements cannot give rise to non-waivable jurisdictional defects.
