v SC: 141610
COA: 298269
Hillsdale CC: 09-331957-FH
ADAM LEE DARR,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the July 9, 2010 order of
the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Hillsdale County Prosecuting
Attorney to answer the following issue raised in defendant’s application for leave to
appeal: whether the trial court abused its discretion and violated defendant’s Sixth
Amendment right to counsel by denying appellate counsel’s request to withdraw where
counsel claimed that there was an actual conflict of interest in representing both
defendant and his co-defendant on appeal. The prosecuting attorney shall answer within
28 days after the date of this order.
The application for leave to appeal remains pending.
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.
