    PEOPLE v BLACHURA
    Docket No. 56979.
    Argued May 4, 1976
    (Calendar No. 6).
    Decided June 3, 1976.
    Leon Blachura was convicted by a jury in Oakland Circuit Court, Arthur E. Moore, J., of five counts of perjury in testimony before a citizens’ grand jury investigating the Oakland County Drain Commission Office. The prosecutor had advised the defendant that he could consult his attorney outside the grand jury room in deciding whether to answer questions asked before the grand jury, and the defendant had so consulted his attorney. The trial court granted defendant’s motion for a new trial on the ground that he had a right to have counsel present in the grand jury room, and quashed counts of the indictment based on his testimony after he was denied the presence of counsel. The Court of Appeals, Quinn, P. J., and Bashara, J. (and Kaufman, J., concurring), reversed and remanded for sentencing (Docket No. 13627). Defendant appeals. Held:
    
    The defendant consulted his attorney outside the hearing room and did not request that the attorney be present in the grand jury room. The issue is not properly preserved for review and leave to appeal was improvidently granted.
    The appeal is dismissed and remanded to circuit court for sentencing.
    Case reported below: 59 Mich App 664; 229 NW2d 877 (1975).
    
      Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Robert A. Derengoski, Solicitor General, and Marvin S. Shwedel, Special Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for the people.
    
      Richard M. Lustig for defendant.
   Per Curiam.

We granted leave in this case to consider whether defendant Blachura had the right to the presence of counsel during a citizens’ grand jury proceeding.

The defendant testified before a citizens’ grand jury. As a result of his testimony, the grand jury indicted him on six counts of perjury; a petit jury later convicted him on five of the six counts. The trial judge granted the defendant’s motion for new trial on two counts and quashed the other three counts. The Court of Appeals reinstated the jury verdicts.

During this general, investigatory proceeding, the defendant’s attorney was outside the grand jury room, and the defendant was advised of his right to consult with his attorney; he did so on several occasions. The defendant did not request that his attorney be present in the grand jury room.

The record discloses that the issue has not been properly preserved for review and therefore warrants no further study. We conclude that leave to appeal was improvidently granted. DePew v De Pew, 373 Mich 162; 128 NW2d 533 (1964); Sinnott v Noble, 390 Mich 91; 211 NW2d 842 (1973); People v Watson, 390 Mich 732; 212 NW2d 708 (1973). The appeal is dismissed, and the cause remanded to the Oakland Circuit Court for imposition of sentence.

Kavanagh, C. J., and Williams, Levin, Coleman, Fitzgerald, Lindemer, and Ryan, JJ., concurred. 
      
       MCLA 767.7 et seq.; MSA 28.947 et seq. Consequently, the proceedings must be contrasted with the one-man grand jury which includes the statutory right to have one’s attorney present in the grand jury room. MCLA 767.3; MSA 28.943. See United States v Mandujano, — US —; 96 S Ct 1768; 48 L Ed 2d 212 (1976), in which four justices of the United States Supreme Court said that "the witness may not insist upon the presence of his attorney in the grand jury room”.
     
      
       An Oakland County grand jury was convened to investigate allegations of criminal misconduct in the Oakland County Drain Commission’s Office, and defendant was called to testify April 26 and May 3, 1971.
     
      
      
        People v Blachura, 59 Mich App 664; 229 NW2d 877 (1975). We first had considered the propriety of the Court of Appeals order granting the prosecutor’s application for leave to appeal. 390 Mich 326; 212 NW2d 182 (1973). Defendant has not yet been sentenced.
     
      
       The prosecutor advised the defendant that "if for any reason you felt that a question would require you to incriminate yourself * * * , then you may step outside the hearing room and * * * [defense counsel] may advise you on whether or not to answer the question, okay?”
