The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A16A0728. MARION v. THE STATE.

      Following his conviction on numerous counts of aggravated child molestation,
aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, and cruelty to children in the first
degree, Steven Scott Marion filed a motion for new trial, alleging that he had received
ineffective assistance of counsel. To help support his ineffective assistance claim,
Marion filed a motion seeking an in camera review of the prosecutor’s notes from her
interview of Marion’s oldest daughter. The trial court denied Marion’s motion and
at Marion’s request, certified its order for immediate review. We thereafter granted
Marion’s application for discretionary review. Having now reviewed the appellate
record and the briefs of the parties, we have concluded that the appeal was
improvidently granted. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
