  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.
  The applications for leave to appeal the February 10, 2011 order of the Court of Appeals
  are considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we
  REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for consideration as on leave granted.
                                                                                                              2

      We appoint the State Appellate Defender Office as counsel to represent the
defendant in the Court of Appeals and any subsequent proceeding in this Court. The
Court of Appeals is DIRECTED to decide this case on an expedited basis.

       We note that a similar issue is presented in the cases of People v Haeger (Docket
No. 141718) and In re Parole of Michelle Elias (Docket No. 142198), which we
remanded to the Court of Appeals for consideration together, as on leave granted, by
orders dated February 2, 2011.

      We do not retain jurisdiction.

                        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.
