ORDER

The Court of Appeals decision dated October 6, 1981, 110 Mich.App. 147, 312 N.W.2d 187, the Court of Appeals record, and the trial court record have been considered by the Court, pursuant to a letter request of the defendant under Administrative Order 1977-4, 400 Mich. lxvii, to determine whether leave to appeal or other relief should be granted by this Court.

The defendant shall file with the Huron Circuit Court an affidavit concerning his present financial status (see guidelines at 387 Mich. xxxi). The prosecutor shall be furnished a copy of the financial affidavit and may challenge the defendant's asserted indigency within 20 days after receiving the affidavit. The challenge, if brought, shall be resolved at a hearing before the Huron Circuit Court at which the prosecutor, the defendant, and counsel for the defendant shall appear personally to aid the Court's inquiry. The Huron Circuit Court, on a finding of indigency, shall appoint counsel for defendant to prepare and file an application for leave to appeal and shall furnish any portion of the record counsel may require. The application is to be filed within 60 days after the appointment of counsel. The prosecutor is directed to file a response within 30 days after the application is filed.
