St. John Hospital, Case Nos. 138180 &amp; 138181, and directed the Saginaw Prosecuting Attorney to answer a defendant's application for leave to appeal and address whether, in light of People v.

In People v. Swain, Case No. 139726, the Court of Appeals was directed to address 1) whether the successive motion for relief from judgment in this case was barred by MCR 6.502(G), and 2) if it was, whether the defendant's constitutional rights were implicated given that the trial court found a significant possibility that the defendant was innocent based on evidence that was not presented at trial.
