PEOPLE of the State of Michigan, Plaintiff–Appellee, v. Alan Starr TROWBRIDGE, Defendant–Appellant.
Order
By order of May 22, 2013, the application for leave to appeal the September 25, 2012 judgment of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in Burt v. Titlow, cert. gtd. 571 U.S. ––––, 133 S.Ct. 1457, 185 L.Ed.2d 360 (2013). On order of the Court, the case having been decided on November 5, 2013, 571 U.S. ––––, 134 S.Ct. 10, 187 L.Ed.2d 348 (2013), the application is again considered. We DIRECT the Grand Traverse County Prosecuting Attorney to answer the application for leave to appeal within 28 days of the date of this order. The prosecutor shall specifically address whether the Court of Appeals correctly resolved the defendant's ineffective assistance of counsel claim in light of People v. Douglas, 496 Mich. 557, 852 N.W.2d 587 (2014).
The application for leave to appeal and the motion to expand the record remain pending.
