  JOSHUA MAURICE ROBINSON,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         By order of December 14, 2018, the defendant’s appellate counsel was directed to
  file a supplemental brief. On order of the Court, the brief having been received, the
  application for leave to appeal the July 28, 2017 order of the Court of Appeals is again
  considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we
  REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration of the defendant’s June
  22, 2017 application for leave to appeal under the standard applicable to direct appeals.
  Appellate counsel admits that she missed the deadline for filing a direct appeal.
  Accordingly, the defendant was deprived of his direct appeal as a result of
  constitutionally ineffective assistance of counsel. See Roe v Flores-Ortega, 528 U.S. 470,
  477 (2000); Peguero v United States, 526 U.S. 23, 28 (1999).

        We do not retain jurisdiction.

                           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.
