  JOSEPH FRANK HERSHEY,
            Defendant-Appellee.

  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the December 5, 2013
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered. We direct the Clerk to schedule oral
  argument on whether to grant the application or take other action. MCR 7.302(H)(1).
  We further ORDER the Muskegon Circuit Court, in accordance with Administrative
  Order 2003-03, to determine whether the defendant is indigent and, if so, to appoint
  counsel to represent the defendant in this Court. At oral argument, the parties shall
  address whether the defendant waived his challenges to the scoring of Offense Variable
  (OV) 16, MCL 777.46, and OV 19, MCL 777.49, when the defendant and his counsel
  informed the trial court they reviewed and discussed the Presentence Investigation Report
  and had no additions, deletions or corrections to offer. The parties shall file supplemental
  briefs within 42 days following the appointment of counsel, but they should not submit
  mere restatements of their application papers.

                           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.
