LANSING ? The Livingston County Circuit Court sided with Attorney General Dana Nessel in a stay of enforcement for the parole order?involving Floyd Jarvi and granted leave to appeal.?

"We are grateful that Judge Geddis acted quickly in the interest of public safety,? Nessel said. ?The facts of this case demonstrate that Jarvi has failed to accept responsibility for his crimes and lacks remorse, and as such should remain in custody. We look forward to presenting the facts of the case before the circuit court.??
