THE COURT:
It is ordered that the opinion filed in the above-entitled matter on June 30, 2016, be modified in the following manner:
On page 8, line 3, the following sentence is deleted: Although Elijah did not yet have the right to counsel under the Sixth Amendment because no petition had yet been filed, he faced what was in effect a critical stage of the prosecution.
This modification does not constitute a change in the judgment.
