  JOHN SATTERWHITE FRANKLIN,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the March 24, 2010 order
  of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Saginaw County Prosecuting
  Attorney to answer the application for leave to appeal within 28 days after the date of this
  order, addressing the issues whether the trial court failed to comply with MCL 767.61a
  when accepting defendant’s pleas to the charge of being a sexually delinquent person,
  and whether defendant’s convictions are barred by double jeopardy.

         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.
