  JACOB RAY LEFFLER,
           Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         By order of December 4, 2018, the application for leave to appeal the May 22,
  2018 order of the Court of Appeals was held in abeyance pending the decision in People
  v Ames (Docket No. 156077). On order of the Court, leave to appeal having been denied
  in Ames on June 26, 2019, 504 Mich ___ (2019), 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.
