PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED February 28, 2019

Plaintiff-Appellee,

v No. 340978 Macomb Circuit Court

ZDZISLAW GNAT, LC No. 2016-003921-FH

Defendant-Appellant.

Before: SWARTZLE, P.J., and MARKEY and RONAYNE KRAUSE, JJ.

SWARTZLE, P.J. (concurring).

I concur with the majority’s well-reasoned opinion in this case. With that said, I see no reason to speculate on whether a “waiver” argument could be made with respect to defendant’s entitlement to an interpreter, as defendant plainly forfeited the matter and the majority (correctly) reviews the matter for plain error affecting defendant’s substantial rights.
