  ____________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the August 14, 2012
  order of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Wayne County
  Prosecuting Attorney to answer the application for leave to appeal within 28 days after
  the date of this order, addressing the issue whether the defendant should be allowed the
  opportunity to withdraw his plea in light of People v Cole, 491 Mich 325 (2012).

        The application for leave to appeal remains pending.




                           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.
