_________________________________________/

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 19, 2012 order of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT former appellate counsel, Lawrence J. Bunting, to file a supplemental brief addressing the reason(s) for his failure to file in the trial court a timely motion to withdraw the defendant’s plea, and/or his failure to file in the Court of Appeals, on direct review, a delayed application for leave to appeal within the deadlines set forth in MCR 7.205(F), despite being appointed as counsel on November 5, 2009, approximately two weeks after the defendant was sentenced. Counsel shall file the supplemental brief within 28 days of the date of this order.

The application for leave to appeal remains pending.

I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court. July 30, 2013 s0722 Clerk
