On four occasions we have entered orders extending those amendments in anticipation of legislation regarding the appointment of appellate counsel in guilty plea cases. Absent legislative implementation of the Constitutional Amendment and consistent with our reluctance to prejudge legal issues through exercise of the rule-making power, we have entered four interim orders authorizing appointment of counsel in order to protect an indigent defendant's ability to have the assistance of counsel in pursuing appellate remedies. We have therefore repeatedly sought clarification of the Legislature's understanding of the Amendment to avoid imposing costs on local funding units through court rules, expressing concern that the Legislature's failure to act reflects Headlee considerations. Every indication is that we have reached stalemate. Rather than deprive defendants of the assistance of counsel which the voters might not intend, I agree that the Court should extend the rules indefinitely.
