ALAN STARR TROWBRIDGE,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
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 US ___; 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 US ___; 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 (2014).
The application for leave to appeal and the motion to expand the record remain
pending.
I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
