  _________________________________________/

         On order of the Court, counsel for the defendant having filed a Suggestion of
  Death establishing the defendant’s death following the filing of his application for leave
  to appeal the January 26, 2012 judgment of the Court of Appeals, we DISMISS the
  application with prejudice and without costs. The motion by counsel to vacate the
  previously entered opinions, orders and judgments is DENIED. We REMAND this case
  to the Wayne Circuit Court for any further proceedings that it may deem necessary with
  respect to bond.

                     foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
