  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 7, 2013 order of
  the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is GRANTED. The parties shall address: (1)
  whether a trial court loses jurisdiction, for purposes of sentencing or otherwise, by failure
  to sentence a defendant within one year after delaying sentence under MCL 771.1; (2)
  whether a defendant waives a claim of error related to a delay in sentencing where he
  requests a delayed sentence under the statute; and (3) what remedy should apply to a
  failure to sentence a defendant within a year of conviction.

          The Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan and Prosecuting Attorneys
  Association of Michigan are invited to file briefs amicus curiae. Other persons or groups
  interested in the determination of the issues presented in this case may move the Court
  for permission to file briefs amicus curiae.

                           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.
