  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 11, 2012
  order of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of
  granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for
  consideration, as on leave granted, of (1) whether the defendant was entitled to dismissal
  of the marijuana-related charges under the immunity provision in § 4 of the Michigan
  Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA), MCL 333.26424; (2) whether the defendant was
  entitled to dismissal of the charges under the affirmative defense in § 8(a) of the MMMA,
  MCL 333.26428(a); and (3) if the defendant was not entitled to dismissal, whether he is
  permitted to raise the § 8 affirmative defense at trial.




                           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.
