It appears from your question that the Defendant was tried on multiple counts of CSC. Those convictions were appealed to the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals upheld one of Defendant's convictions (count 4) for CSC II but reversed the conviction on the other charge that was appealed, apparently because it was not properly charged. Since the Defendant is now guilty of one less charge than he was originally sentenced on, the Court of Appeals remanded the matter to the trial court to determine if the sentence needed to be changed or modified in any way due to their decision.
