  RONALD CARL ROSE,

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 1, 2010
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall
  address whether the use of a screen to shield a child complainant from the defendant
  during testimony violates the Confrontation Clause or prejudices the defendant because it
  impinges on the presumption of innocence.

         The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan and the Criminal Defense
  Attorneys of Michigan are invited to file briefs amicus curiae. Other persons or groups
  interested in the determination of the issues presented in this case may move the Court
  for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.

                           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.
                           February 2, 2011                    _________________________________________
