  WILLIAM LYLES, JR.,
           Defendant-Appellee.

  _____________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 22, 2014
  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).
  The parties shall file supplemental briefs within 35 days of the date of this order
  addressing whether it is more probable than not that the failure to properly instruct the
  jury regarding evidence of the defendant’s good character was outcome determinative.
  The parties should not submit mere restatements of their application papers.




                           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.
