  ANTHONY CRAIG WEST,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 19, 2012
  order of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT former appellate counsel,
  Lawrence J. Bunting, to file a supplemental brief addressing the reason(s) for his failure
  to file in the trial court a timely motion to withdraw the defendant’s plea, and/or his
  failure to file in the Court of Appeals, on direct review, a delayed application for leave to
  appeal within the deadlines set forth in MCR 7.205(F), despite being appointed as
  counsel on November 5, 2009, approximately two weeks after the defendant was
  sentenced. Counsel shall file the supplemental brief within 28 days of the date of this
  order.

         The application for leave to appeal remains pending.

                           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.
