  ANDREW MAURICE RANDOLPH,
          Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the November 24, 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).
  The parties shall file supplemental briefs within 42 days of the date of this order
  addressing: (1) whether a defendant’s failure to demonstrate plain error precludes a
  finding of ineffective assistance of trial counsel; and, in particular, (2) whether the
  prejudice standard under the third prong of plain error, People v Carines, 460 Mich 750,
  763-764 (1999) (“affecting substantial rights”), is the same as the Strickland prejudice
  standard, Strickland v Washington, 466 US 668, 694 (1984) (“reasonable probability” of
  a different outcome). See United States v Dominguez Benitez, 542 US 74, 83 (2004);
  People v Fackelman, 489 Mich 515, 537 n 16 (2011); People v Kowalski, 489 Mich 488,
  510 n 38 (2011). 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.
