  DARRIN CRAWFORD,
             Defendant-Appellant.
  ________________________________________/

        On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 13, 2015
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral
  argument on whether to grant the application or take other action. MCR 7.305(H)(1).

         We further ORDER the Wayne Circuit Court, in accordance with Administrative
  Order 2003-03, to determine whether the defendant is indigent and, if so, to appoint
  Michael J. McCarthy, if feasible, to represent the defendant in this Court. If this
  appointment is not feasible, the trial court shall, within the same time frame, appoint
  other counsel to represent the defendant in this Court. If the defendant is not indigent, he
  must retain his own counsel. The parties shall file supplemental briefs within 42 days of
  the order appointing counsel, or of the ruling that the defendant is not entitled to
  appointed counsel, addressing whether the failure to administer any oath to the jury
  following jury selection, but before the beginning of the trial, amounts to plain error
  requiring reversal. The parties should not submit mere restatements of their application
  papers.

                           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.
