CHARLES HENRY ARTHUR,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the January 29, 2008
judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(G)(1), in
lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REVERSE that portion of the opinion of the Court of
Appeals addressing the issue of the right to self-representation, for the reasons stated in
the Court of Appeals dissenting opinion, and we REMAND this case to the Saginaw
Circuit Court for further proceedings not inconsistent with this order. In all other
respects, leave to appeal is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the remaining
question presented should be reviewed by this Court.
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.
