We direct the Clerk to schedule oral argument on whether to grant the application or take other action. MCR 7.302(H)(1). The parties shall file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order addressing whether the defendant was denied the effective assistance of counsel based on trial counsel’s failure to adequately investigate the possibility of obtaining expert testimony in support of the defense.
