_________________________________________/

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 1, 2010 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall address whether the use of a screen to shield a child complainant from the defendant during testimony violates the Confrontation Clause or prejudices the defendant because it impinges on the presumption of innocence.

The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan and the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan are invited to file briefs amicus curiae. Other persons or groups interested in the determination of the issues presented in this case may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.

I, Corbin R. Davis, 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. February 2, 2011 _________________________________________ p0126 Clerk
