On November 30, 2012, the Michigan Supreme Court dismissed two cases on stipulation of the parties and granted a motion for temporary admission to the practice of law in Michigan. Additionally, the Court ordered the defendant-appellant in People v. Hardy to show cause why his appeal should not be dismissed for lack of progress where Mr. Hardy has not requested appointed counsel and has not filed his brief on appeal.
