  _________________________________________/

         By order of April 29, 2013, the application for leave to appeal the October 3, 2012
  order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People v Earl
  (Docket No. 145677). On order of the Court, the case having been decided on March 26,
  2014, 495 Mich 33 (2014), the application is again considered, and it is DENIED,
  because we are not persuaded that the question presented should be reviewed by this
  Court.




                           I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
                     foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
