  MICHAEL KEVIN JACKSON,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _____________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 30, 2020
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu
  of granting leave to appeal, we VACATE Part III of the opinion of the Court of Appeals
  and we REMAND this case to the Muskegon Circuit Court for an evidentiary hearing to
  determine whether the defendant was denied his Sixth Amendment right to an impartial
  jury drawn from a fair cross-section of the community. Duren v Missouri, 439 US 357
  (1979). The circuit court shall apply the framework outlined in People v Bryant, 491 Mich
  575 (2012). In all other respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded
  that the remaining 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.
