            Plaintiff-Appellee,

  JOSHUA LEE MOSHER,
             Defendant-Appellant.
  ________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 21, 2015
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Ottawa County
  Prosecuting Attorney to answer the application for leave to appeal within 28 days after
  the date of this order. The prosecutor shall specifically address whether the defendant
  was sufficiently prejudiced by trial counsel’s failure to redact parts of the defendant’s
  statement to the police, in which the interrogating officer expressed his belief of the
  complainant, that an evidentiary hearing on the ineffective assistance of counsel is
  warranted. See People v Ginther, 390 Mich 436 (1973); People v Musser, 494 Mich 337
  (2013).

                           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.
