  FUAD FAROUK SHEENA,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the February 18, 2014
  judgment 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 Oakland Circuit Court for
  an evidentiary hearing, pursuant to People v Ginther, 390 Mich 436 (1973), to determine
  whether the defendant was deprived of his right to the effective assistance of trial counsel
  based on counsel’s failure to pursue an insanity defense. In all other respects, leave to
  appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be
  reviewed by this Court.

                           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.
