ANTHONY CRAIG WEST,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the September 19, 2012
order of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT former appellate counsel,
Lawrence J. Bunting, to file a supplemental brief addressing the reason(s) for his failure
to file in the trial court a timely motion to withdraw the defendant’s plea, and/or his
failure to file in the Court of Appeals, on direct review, a delayed application for leave to
appeal within the deadlines set forth in MCR 7.205(F), despite being appointed as
counsel on November 5, 2009, approximately two weeks after the defendant was
sentenced. Counsel shall file the supplemental brief within 28 days of the date of this
order.
The application for leave to appeal remains pending.
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.
