ALAN STARR TROWBRIDGE,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the motion to expand the record is GRANTED. By order of
October 3, 2014, the prosecuting attorney was directed to answer the application for leave
to appeal the September 25, 2012 judgment of the Court of Appeals. The answer having
been received, the application for leave to appeal is again considered. We direct the
Clerk to schedule oral argument on whether to grant the application or take other action.
MCR 7.302(H)(1). At oral argument, the parties shall 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 parties may file supplemental briefs
within 42 days of the date of this order, but they should not submit mere restatements of
their application papers.
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.
