  REGINAL LAVAL SHORT, a/k/a
  REGINALD LAVAL SHORT,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.
  The application for leave to appeal the August 26, 2010 judgment of the Court of Appeals
  is considered, and it is GRANTED, to consider whether the good-faith exception to the
  exclusionary rule applies to a warrantless vehicle search that was conducted under the
  authority of New York v Belton, 453 US 454; 101 S Ct 2860; 69 L Ed 2d 768 (1981), but
  that would be unconstitutional under Arizona v Gant, 556 US ___; 129 S Ct 1710; 173 L
  Ed 2d 485 (2009). We further ORDER that the defendant may file, and the Saginaw
  Circuit Court may entertain, a motion for bond pending the appeal in this Court.

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

                            I, Corbin R. Davis, 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.
                            October 29, 2010                    _________________________________________
