  DEANDRE SADDERL VICK,
           Defendant-Appellant.
  _____________________________________/
          By order of October 3, 2019, the prosecuting attorney was directed to answer the
  application for leave to appeal the December 7, 2018 order of the Court of Appeals. On
  order of the Court, the answer having been received, the application for leave to appeal is
  again considered. Pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we
  VACATE that part of the Kent Circuit Court’s June 4, 2018 order denying relief from
  judgment on the basis of the affidavit of Kenneth Jackson, and we REMAND this case to
  the trial court for reconsideration of the defendant’s motion under MCR 6.504(B). On
  remand, the trial court shall determine whether the new evidence presented in that
  affidavit is credible and whether the impact of the new evidence, in conjunction with the
  evidence that would be presented on retrial, which would include newly discovered
  evidence presented in previous motions for relief from judgment, would make a different
  result probable on retrial. People v Johnson, 502 Mich 541, 566-567, 571 (2018). In all
  other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because the defendant’s motion for relief
  from judgment is prohibited by MCR 6.502(G). The motion to appoint counsel is
  DENIED.

                           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.
