  KURTIS RAY MINCH,
           Defendant-Appellee.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 20, 2011
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral
  argument on whether to grant the application or take other action. MCR 7.302(H)(1).
  We further order the Muskegon Circuit Court, in accordance with Administrative Order
  2003-03, to determine whether the defendant is indigent and, if so, to appoint Kevin J.
  Wistrom, if feasible, to represent the defendant in this Court. If this appointment is not
  feasible, the trial court shall, within the same time frame, appoint other counsel to
  represent the defendant in this Court. The parties shall submit supplemental briefs within
  42 days of the date of the order appointing counsel, or a ruling that the defendant is not
  entitled to appointed counsel.




                           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.
