  LESLIE PAUL FORD,
            Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

         By order of April 25, 2011, the prosecuting attorney was directed to answer the
  application for leave to appeal the December 1, 2010 order of the Court of Appeals. On
  order of the Court, the answer having been received, the application for leave to appeal is
  again considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions
  presented should be reviewed by this Court.

         HATHAWAY, J., not participating. Justice Hathaway recuses herself and will not
  participate in this case as she was the presiding trial court judge. See MCR 2.003(B).

        ZAHRA, J., did not participate because he was on the Court of Appeals panel.




                           I, Corbin R. Davis, 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.
                           July 20, 2011                       _________________________________________
