  JAMIE CHRISTOPHER ARNETT,
            Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the April 28, 2015
  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 that part of the Court of Appeals judgment
  addressing the defendant’s witness-vouching and associated ineffective-assistance
  arguments, and we REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals to further consider those
  arguments under the principles set forth in People v Douglas, 496 Mich. 557 (2014). 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.
