  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Macomb County
  Prosecuting Attorney to answer the application for leave to appeal within 28 days after
  the date of this order. In particular, the prosecuting attorney shall address whether the
  defendant is entitled to a new trial based on the decisions in People v Thorpe, 504 Mich.

  proceedings is DENIED.

        The application for leave to appeal remains pending.
