Opinion:
Pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we vacate the judgment of the Court of Appeals and we remand this case to that court. On remand, while retaining jurisdiction, the Court of Appeals shall remand this case to the Wayne Circuit Court to conduct an evidentiary hearing pursuant to People v Ginther, 390 Mich 436 (1973), to determine whether the defendant was deprived of his right to the effective assistance of counsel when his attorney failed to file a motion to suppress. At the conclusion of the hearing, the circuit court shall then forward the record and its findings to the Court of Appeals, which shall address the issues presented by the defendant. We do not retain jurisdiction.
