v SC: 134137
COA: 274184
Wayne CC: 02-006678-01
STANLEY JEROME BROWN,
Defendant-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the May 14, 2007 order
of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Wayne County Prosecuting
Attorney to answer the application for leave to appeal within 28 days after the date of this
order. The prosecutor shall address whether the defendant's trial attorney was ineffective
for failing to procure staff activity logs before trial. The prosecutor shall also address
whether staff activity logs and the victim's deposition testimony from the civil case, to the
extent that the deposition testimony is inconsistent with the victim's prior testimony,
constitute new evidence that could justify a retrial under the standard for relief applicable
to a motion for relief from judgment.
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.
