MEMORANDUM OPINION. Defendant here challenges the refusal of the trial court to grant his request, made before sentence was imposed, to withdraw his nolo contendere pleas to second-degree murder and assault with intent to murder.

Pursuant to GCR 1963, 853.2(4), in lieu of leave to appeal, the Court hereby reverses the decisions of the Court of Appeals and the trial court denying defendant's motion to withdraw his pleas and remands the case to the trial court for further proceedings on the original charges consonant *530 with People v Bencheck, 360 Mich. 430; 104 NW2d 191 (1960), and People v Zaleski, 375 Mich. 71; 133 NW2d 175 (1965).
T.G. KAVANAGH, C.J., and WILLIAMS, LEVIN, M.S. COLEMAN, J.W. FITZGERALD, and LINDEMER, JJ., concurred.
