PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff–Appellant, v. Antoine Tearso HEARN, Defendant–Appellee.


Order

On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal the September 14, 2017 order 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 May 25, 2017 order of the Wayne Circuit Court granting a new trial. The court failed to articulate how the defendant was prejudiced by trial counsel's errors. See People v. Trakhtenberg , 493 Mich. 38, 55–56, 826 N.W.2d 136 (2012). We REMAND this case to the Wayne Circuit Court for further articulation of how the defendant was prejudiced by counsel's errors or to explain why a showing of prejudice was unnecessary. The motion for stay is DENIED as moot.

We do not retain jurisdiction.

Viviano, J., did not participate due to a familial relationship with the presiding circuit court judge in this case.
