On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal from the September 20, 2001 decision of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall include among the issues addressed whether voluntary intoxication should be a defense to a specific intent crime. See, Montana v Egelhoff, 518 U.S. 37 (1996). The Clerk is directed to place this matter on the May 2002 session calendar for argument and submission. The stay of proceedings previously ordered remains in effect during the pendency of the appeal.
Persons or groups interested in the determination of the questions may move the Court for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.
