  DARRIS ANTHONY PHARMS,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _____________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion for miscellaneous relief is GRANTED. The
  application for leave to appeal the January 11, 2018 judgment of the Court of Appeals is
  considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we
  REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for articulation of its reasons for finding a
  lack of merit in the questions presented in the defendant’s supplemental brief, filed under
  AO 2004-6 (Minimum Standards for Indigent Criminal Appellate Defense Services),
  Standard 4, as part of his appeal of right. 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.

         We do not retain jurisdiction.

                           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.
