  AUTUMN SHEREE BELT,
          Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the June 26, 2014 order
  of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of
  granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Kalamazoo Circuit Court, which
  shall allow the defendant the opportunity to withdraw her guilty plea. See People v
  Cobbs, 443 Mich 276 (1993). We note that the defendant’s plea proceeding occurred
  prior to the effective date of MCR 6.310(B)(3).

         We further ORDER the Kalamazoo Circuit Court, in accordance with
  Administrative Order 2003-03, to determine whether the defendant is indigent and, if so,
  to appoint counsel to represent the defendant on remand.

        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.
