  _____________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 3, 2012 order
  of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of
  granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the November 2, 2010 order of the Monroe
  Circuit Court, which reversed the Michigan Parole Board’s grant of parole, and we
  REMAND this case to the Monroe Circuit Court for reconsideration of the parole-
  decision challenge under the standard set forth in In re Parole of Elias, 294 Mich App
  507 (2011). The motion to appoint counsel is DENIED.

                           I, Corbin R. Davis, 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.
