ORDER
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 27, 2022 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the judgment of the Court of Appeals and the May 20, 2020 order of the Wayne Circuit Court, and we REMAND this case to the 24th District Court to conduct an evidentiary hearing on whether an outside promise induced the defendant's plea and whether defense counsel was ineffective. In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the remaining question presented should be reviewed by this Court.
We do not retain jurisdiction.
