  _________________________________________/

         By order of May 28, 2013, the application for leave to appeal the January 3, 2013
  judgment 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 questions 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.
