ORDER

On order of the Court, the applications for leave to appeal and for leave to file cross-appeal are considered. In lieu of leave to appeal, pursuant to GCR 1963, 853.2(4), we REVERSE the judgment of the Court of Appeals, 85 Mich.App. 404, 271 N.W.2d 252, insofar as it ordered the defendant discharged on count one, charging delivery of heroin. The prosecution presented sufficient evidence to permit the jury to find the defendant guilty of count one. In all other respects the applications are DENIED. We REMAND the case to the Saginaw circuit court for a new trial on count one and do not retain jurisdiction.
