  ROBERTA VAN BUREN,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the January 17, 2019
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu
  of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE the judgment of the Court of Appeals and we
  REMAND this case to the Wayne Circuit Court for an evidentiary hearing pursuant to
  People v Ginther, 390 Mich. 436 (1973), for a determination of whether the defendant was
  denied the effective assistance of trial counsel.

        We do not retain jurisdiction.

                           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.
