The motion to remand is GRANTED. This case is REMANDED to the trial court for an
evidentiary hearing and decision whether defendant was denied the effective assistance of counsel. In re
Londowski, 340 Mich App 495, 515-516 (2022). Proceedings on remand are limited to the issues raised
in the motion to remand. This Court retains jurisdiction.
Respondent shall initiate the proceedings on remand within 14 days of the date of this
order. The time for further proceedings in this appeal shall begin to run on the issuance of an order in the
trial court that concludes the remand proceedings. However, if respondent fails to file a motion to initiate
the proceedings within the time provided, the time for further proceedings in this appeal shall begin to run
at the conclusion of that 14-day period. Respondent shall file with this Court a copy of any motion and
supporting brief filed in the trial court and file a copy of any order entered within 14 days after entry.
The trial court shall hear and decide the matter within 56 days of the date of this order and
