36 Mich. App. 187

People v. Brown

Michigan Court of Appeals

Decided September 30, 1971

Michigan Court of Appeals · decided 1971-09-30

Applies MI 750 § 750.457

Decided 1971-09-30

Per Curiam.

¶1The defendant was convicted by a jury of knowingly accepting money without consideration from the earnings of a prostitute. MCLA § 750.457 (Stat Ann 1954 Rev §28.712). He was sentenced to a term of 3-20 years in prison.

¶2The defendant questions the constitutionality of the statute-on the basis that the phrase “without consideration” is too vague, and he also attacks the jury instruction which permitted the jury to consider whether the consideration bore a reasonable relationship to the value of the goods and services.

¶3On the authority of People v. Hill (1971), 32 Mich App 404, we hold that the issues raised are without merit. See also People v. Jackson (1937), 280 Mich 6. No argument or formal submission is required.

¶4The motion to affirm is granted.
