  DANNON LEWIS ANES,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  ____________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the February 13, 2014
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Allegan County
  Prosecuting Attorney to answer the application for leave to appeal within 28 days after
  the date of this order. The prosecutor shall address: (1) whether evidence that the
  complainant was touching the defendant’s groin area or otherwise “grinding on” him was
  prior sexual conduct that was admissible under MCL 750.520j(1)(a), or as part of the res
  gestae, and (2) whether exclusion of evidence that the complainant was touching the
  defendant’s groin area or otherwise “grinding on” him violated the defendant’s right of
  confrontation under the United States and Michigan Constitutions. US Const, Am VI;
  Const 1963, art 1, § 20.

        The application for leave to appeal remains pending.

                          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.
