On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the November 15, 2013 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 Oakland Circuit Court for consideration, as on leave granted, of the prosecutor's argument that the 52-2nd District Court erred in directing the prosecutor to produce all of the evidence listed in its June 6, 2013 order. The prosecutor properly sought to appeal the district court ruling directing the production of certain materials. The issue was ripe for consideration, and it would be improper for the prosecutor to refuse to comply with the order instead of seeking to appeal the order. See State Bar of Michigan v Cramer, 399 Mich 116, 125 (1976), citing Maness v Meyers, 419 US 449, 458-459; 95 S Ct 584; 42 L Ed 2d 574 (1975).
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.
