COURT OF APPEALS


PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, Plaintiff-Appellee, v

UNPUBLISHED March 25, 1997

No. 187455 Bay Circuit Court LC No. 95-001075

JOHN WARNER JENSEN, Defendant-Appellant.

Before: D.F. Walsh,* P.J., and R.P. Griffin** and W.P. Cynar,* JJ. MEMORANDUM. Defendant pleaded guilty to second-degree criminal sexual conduct, MCL 750.520c(1)(d); MSA 28.788(3)(1)(d), and was sentenced to 4-1/2 to 15 years' imprisonment. He appeals as of right. We affirm. This case has been decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E)(1)(b). Defendant's claim on appeal is without merit. The "same household" provision of the CSC statute encompasses the instant situation. People v Garrison, 128 Mich App 640, 646-647; 341 NW2d 170 (1983). The record established that the victim had "a close and ongoing subordinating relationship...with a coercive authority figure" (i.e., defendant) while the two lived together in the same home. Id. Affirmed. /s/ Daniel F. Walsh /s/ Robert P. Griffin /s/ Walter P. Cynar
