  TROY ANTONIO BROWN,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         By order of February 4, 2020, the prosecuting attorney was directed to answer the
  application for leave to appeal the October 18, 2018 judgment of the Court of Appeals.
  On order of the Court, the answer having been received, we DIRECT the Macomb
  County Prosecuting Attorney to file an additional response within 28 days of the date of
  this order that addresses whether, in light of all the evidence presented in this case, the
  uncorrected testimony of Detective-Sergeant Robert Eidt that the defendant was the one
  who said that the truth was somewhere in the middle, as repeatedly reinforced by the trial
  prosecutor, “could in any reasonable likelihood have affected the judgment of the jury.”
  People v Smith, 498 Mich 466, 476 (2015).

         The application for leave to appeal remains pending.




                           I, Larry S. Royster, 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.
