  JOSE L. GARCIA-MANDUJANO,
             Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

           On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the March 15, 2016
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Van Buren County
  Prosecuting Attorney to file a supplemental response to the application for leave to
  appeal within 28 days after the date of this order. The prosecutor shall specifically
  address: (1) whether the defendant was denied effective assistance of counsel where his
  trial attorney failed to impeach the testimony of the physician’s assistant, that she used an
  adult speculum on the complainant, with the witness’s report, which contained no
  reference to the speculum; and (2) whether the defendant was prejudiced by trial
  counsel’s failure to use the physician assistant’s report when cross-examining the
  witness.

         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.
