  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the August 7, 2013 order
  of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded
  that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court. The motion to stay the
  decision pending the outcome of Kenney v Booker, 494 Mich 852 (2013), is DENIED as
  moot.




                           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.
