PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff–Appellee, v. Cisco Destin GREEN, Defendant–Appellant.
Order
On order of the Court, the motion to add issues is GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal the June 2, 2016 order of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals. That court shall treat the defendant's delayed application for leave to appeal as a timely filed brief on appeal, and this case shall proceed in that court as an appeal of right. The defendant made a timely request for the appointment of appellate counsel, but the Wayne Circuit Court failed to comply with the requirements of MCR 6.425(G)(3). Accordingly, the defendant was deprived of his appeal of right as a result of the trial court's error.
We do not retain jurisdiction.
