Order Michigan Supreme Court Lansing, Michigan April 29, 2020 Bridget M. McCormack, Chief Justice David F. Viviano, Chief Justice Pro Tem 158663 Stephen J. Markman Brian K. Zahra Richard H. Bernstein PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, Elizabeth T. Clement Plaintiff-Appellee, Megan K. Cavanagh, Justices v SC: 158663 COA: 336058 Macomb CC: 2015-002617-FC TROY ANTONIO BROWN, Defendant-Appellant.

_________________________________________/ By order of February 4, 2020, the prosecuting attorney was directed to answer the application for leave to appeal the October 18, 2018 judgment of the Court of Appeals.

On order of the Court, the answer having been received, we DIRECT the Macomb County Prosecuting Attorney to file an additional response within 28 days of the date of this order that addresses whether, in light of all the evidence presented in this case, the uncorrected testimony of Detective-Sergeant Robert Eidt that the defendant was the one who said that the truth was somewhere in the middle, as repeatedly reinforced by the trial prosecutor, “could in any reasonable likelihood have affected the judgment of the jury.”

People v Smith, 498 Mich 466, 476 (2015).

The application for leave to appeal remains pending.

I, Larry S. Royster, 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.
