Mich. Admin. Ord. Administrative Order No. 1985-3
On order of the Court, this Court having previously issued Administrative Order 1981-7 concerning regulations governing a system for appointment of appellate counsel for indigents in criminal cases and standards for indigent criminal appellate defense services and having indicated therein that a further administrative order would be ultimately forthcoming, Now therefore, on further consideration of this matter by the Court, it is hereby ordered that our prior approval of the standards for indigent criminal appellate defense services is affirmed. On the question of the regulations governing a system for appointment of appellate counsel for indigents in criminal cases, the Court is persuaded that 1978 PA 620 confides the development of such a system to the Appellate Defender Commission and not to this Court.
