  CHRISTOPHER RASHAWN JONES,

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 26, 2019
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Macomb 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 Macomb
  Circuit Court erred by denying the defendant’s motion for the appointment of a DNA
  expert.

        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.
